Master of the E-Series Tarocchi

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing with her left leg slightly bent and her right hand raised open-palmed. Her left hand rests at her side. She has detailed facial features, long curly hair, and wears a flowing garment with additional fabric and ribbons. A swan is at her feet and they stand on water-like waves. In the background, there is a hilly landscape with a structure resembling a tower or castle atop a hill. A decorative border surrounds the entire composition.
