Visual Description
A nude woman with very long hair sits on a dark shore, facing right toward a distant castle on a hill across a body of water. The sky is pink and purple with stars, and the top of the card shows the Roman numeral VIII. Decorative white lattice borders and stars frame the image, and the bottom of the card is labeled 'chalices'. The woman’s hair trails down the rock and pools beside her.
