The Empress is pictured outdoors, surrounded by lavish nature; lush green trees on either side of her and a blue sky overhead. In this scene of abundance, everything about her demonstrates her deep connection with nature. She is the archetypal Mother Earth. Her dress is full of blooming flowers. Under her lily skirt, we see stamens and pollen symbolizing sexuality and fertility. The pregnant Empress gently cradles her unborn child under her dress.
