Visual Description
A crowned king sits half-submerged on a stone column set in rolling water, one hand resting on the column and the other holding a jeweled chalice high. He wears a patterned purple robe and a blue cloak decorated with teardrop motifs that flow like water down his side. His face is pale and stylized, with a darker shadow around one eye and small bubbles or dots near his cheek. In the background are towers and domes with flame-like finials, small stars in the sky, and splashing waves at the base of the scene.
