Terpsicore (Terpsichore)

Master of the E-Series Tarocchi

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing with their legs crossed slightly at the ankles, holding a lute in front of their body. The person's face has closed eyes, a serene expression, and a gentle smile. They have long, straight hair and wear a flowing gown, standing barefoot in front of a background of rolling hills, a city skyline, and a starry sky. There is a large circular object near the person's feet, and the image border has a decorative pattern.
