Visual Description

A crowned woman stands waist-deep in the sea, her blue patterned gown blending into waves that splash around her. She holds an ornate, rounded cup or urn close to her chest, from which droplets fall and ripple into the water below. Her face is divided in tone, one side pale and the other shaded, and her hair is stylized into curling tendrils with a single drop falling from one curl. Behind her a sun with a serene face releases teardrop-shaped rays, while flowers bloom on the shoreline and a simple border frames the scene with the title 'QUEEN OF CUPS' at the base.
