Polimnia (Polyhymnia)

Master of the E-Series Tarocchi

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-length figure of a person standing, depicted from head to toe. The person is in a turned stance with their left foot stepping forward and arms bent at the elbows as they hold a small set of pipes close to their chest. They have long hair flowing over their shoulders and a serene facial expression with delicate features. The person wears a long, flowing garment with swirling fabric details and a ribbon-like detail tied at the shoulder. The ground features tufts of grass and a large, empty circular shape. In the background are rolling hills and sparse vegetation. The scene is enclosed within a rectangular border.
