Master of the E-Series Tarocchi

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing upright. They face slightly to the left with their hands together in front of their chest. The person's face is lifted upwards, eyes looking towards the upper left corner. They have long hair, draped robes, and bare feet. Near their feet is a bird rising from flames, possibly a phoenix. The background is plain with a light source in the upper left corner. The frame has a linear design, and there is text at the bottom reading "SPERANZA. XXXVIIII."
