The image shows "The World", which is the highest trump card from an 18th-century Florentine Minchiate deck. The visual subject features a nude, winged angelic figure, often identified as Amor or Cupid, standing triumphantly on top of a globe depicting a landscape and cityscape. The figure holds a crown and an arrow, representing symbols of divine power and action, while surrounded by four winged faces that represent the four winds.

As for the deck itself, Minchiate is an expanded variant of the traditional Tarot that originated in Florence, Italy. While a standard Tarot deck has 78 cards, a Minchiate deck contains 97 cards because it increases the number of major trumps to 40. These extra trump cards incorporate the twelve signs of the Zodiac, the four classical elements, and additional virtues into the game.
