Visual Description
A pale woman in a flowing aqua robe with long white hair and a flower crown stands amid red roses, gently touching the maw of a large red horned beast whose black horns and intense eye dominate the right side of the image. In the background a layered pagoda silhouette and flying birds sit beneath warm rays, and the roman numeral VI appears at the top of the card. The title "The Lovers" is printed in script at the bottom. The scene is intimate and slightly otherworldly, combining tenderness with a hint of danger.
