This card is a bit darker than the RW version. It probably has something to do with the age and condition of the source works. The horse is such a strong and majestic image, too. All the figures on this card would make great protectors, very powerful, and strong.

I love the description that this site has about the figure so here it is
“The aristocratic appearance of this female figure is based entirely on the circling patterns of the robe, which builds up an ogee form embracing vibrant spatial rhythms. These are most marked in the arm, the wheel and the somewhat heavily rendered drapery. The well-mannered monumentality is enhanced by the yellow colour. In the embroidery of the bodice the yellow has the quality of a goldsmith's work; it ripples as if there were a slight movement in the air.”
