Visual Description
Seven golden cups hover among clouds against a deep blue sky, each cup holding a distinct image: a dragon, a castle, a veiled figure, a head, a laurel wreath, a trove of jewels, and a snake. A robed figure stands at the left with outstretched arms, facing the floating cups above a winding river or path. Wisps of cloud and star-like sparkles surround the scene, and a banner at the bottom reads 'Seven of Cups.' The composition is dreamlike and layered, with cups at different heights and a sense of depth created by a looping road or river below.
