Luna (Moon)

Master of the E-Series Tarocchi

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a chariot pulled by a horse, set against a landscaped background. The image shows a figure standing on a chariot that is pulled by a single horse, soaring through the air. The figure is positioned in a dynamic posture, holding a crescent-shaped object in one hand. The bottom section of the drawing displays a serene landscape with hills and water, small boats scattered across the surface of the water, and mountains in the distance. The scene is encompassed by a decorative border, with inscriptions at the bottom. The etching style is precise and detailed, emphasizing the contours and shading that describe the scene vividly.
