King of Cups
Re di Coppe
A king sits on a stone throne amid a turbulent sea, yet remains perfectly calm. He holds a cup in one hand and a scepter in the other. A fish leaps beside him, a ship sails behind — he commands the waters.
Un re siede su un trono di pietra in mezzo a un mare turbolento, eppure rimane perfettamente calmo. Tiene una coppa in una mano e uno scettro nell'altra. Un pesce salta accanto a lui — domina le acque.
