Three of Cups
Three figures raise cups together among flowers and fruit beneath the numeral III. Their lifted arms form a joined shape above the group, while the flowing garments and differently directed feet suggest shared movement. Lifted arms join the three vessels above the group’s shared movement. Pamela Colman Smith’s design is reproduced in the 1916 Illustrated Key to the Tarot.
