Visual Description

A red-haired young woman crouches on grass by the water at sunset, her limbs and hands scratched and smeared with blood as dark thorny vines coil around her body and knees, studded with small white flowers. A flock of white swans arcs overhead against a peach-colored sky, and tall, dark trees frame the scene on either side while the sea glints in the distance. The card title 'Eight of Coins' is printed in cursive at the bottom of the image.
