Chavalier (Knight)

Master of the E-Series Tarocchi

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-body figures. The larger figure stands facing slightly to the right, with his left hand on the hilt of a sword and his right hand by his side. He has curly hair, wears a hat, and has a serious expression. The smaller figure stands behind and to the left of the larger one, holding a stick or staff. Both figures wear tunics with intricate patterns. The scene is framed with a geometric border, and the background is a plain wall. At the bottom, there is text that reads "CHAVALIER VI."
