Apollo

Master of the E-Series Tarocchi

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body view of a seated figure. The person is sitting cross-legged on the backs of two bird-like creatures. The figure has shoulder-length wavy hair, closed eyes, and a neutral expression. They wear a long, flowing robe with a high collar and a crown. The figure is holding a branch or staff with leaves in their right hand. The background is plain with a decorative border. At the person's feet, there is a globe adorned with stars, and in the lower left, a circular geometric design is present. The scene is rendered in a monochromatic style with intricate linework.
