M2042: Playing Card: Queen of Batons
PrintsOn off-white card stock, a fine lined engraving depicts a woman in a green dress, wrapped in a red robe, wearing a gold crown, and seated on a gold throne. She has long light brown hair that falls to her shoulders, and sits facing us, looking down with her head tilted to the right. She cradles a large yellow baton with blue, domed ends in her hands front of her. Her left hand rests at her waist cupping one end, while her right hand holds the other end up by her shoulder. Five concentric dotted lines form a border around the image.
