Poetry (from the Tarocchi, series C: Liberal Arts, #27)

Master of the E-Series Tarocchi

Cleveland Museum of Art

A rectangular drawing on aged paper depicts a woman sitting on the ground. She has long wavy hair and wears a headband and a long dress. The woman sits cross-legged on a patterned cloth with her right hand to her mouth holding a quill. A shield and a sword rest on the ground beside her. Her left hand rests on a fountain-like structure with water. The border around the drawing consists of rope-like designs and geometric shapes. At the bottom of the drawing, the words 'POESIA XXVII' are written.
