Visual Description

Three figures stand shoulder to shoulder, arms entwined as they lift three ornate golden cups high above their heads, purple liquid splashing from each goblet. The central figure is shown from behind with a raised skirt and an exposed rounded backside, from which small stylized flames lick outward. Each person wears distinct, theatrical clothing and headwear, their faces exaggerated with wide eyes and smiling mouths. The scene is set on a textured, aged parchment with the Roman numeral III at the top and the title THREE OF CUPS at the bottom, with scattered stars and droplets around the raised cups.
