Visual Description
An underwater scene shows a dark-skinned mermaid seated among coral, her scaled tail curled beneath her. She wears a voluminous teal headdress and layered necklaces, and holds a golden chalice gently in both hands. Light filters down in shafts through the water while small fish swim in the midground and bubbles rise toward the surface. A white border frames the image and a banner at the bottom reads “Queen of Cups”; a small artist signature appears in the lower right.
