Just putting the card 'out there' for discussion...
Do we need to discuss The Empress and The Emperor together as a pair/a diptych? There is a definite symmetry about them.
How does the private face of The Empress differ from the public mask, I wonder? What holds the mask in place? Why does she wear gloves? How comfortable does she sit in this elevated throne? How practical is that ridiculously long dress? Does her elevated position put her out of reach and out of touch...aloof and impersonal?
I will be back with more.
