Visual Description

A crowned woman in a blue and red gown stands in profile, one sword held upright behind her shoulder and another pointing down by her side. Her face is stern and grey-toned, with wind-tossed hair and a hard, thoughtful expression. Stars, a small bird in flight, curling clouds, a patch of flames and drooping flowers appear in the background. Drops of blood are visible near the tip of the raised sword and the image is framed with a thin red border and the title 'QUEEN OF SWORDS' at the bottom.
