Visual Description

A large full moon hangs in a cloudy night sky, its pale disk partially softened by drifting clouds. A wide expanse of ocean fills the lower half of the card, with waves catching the moonlight and creating a shimmering reflection that leads toward the horizon. The card shows the Roman numeral XVII at the top and the title "The Moon" at the bottom within a simple white border.
