ššŖ Step into a wonderfully dramatic world of sweeping waves, elegant fans, and extraordinary fashion with The Lady Of The Midnight Waves Playing Cards. Featuring original Sarasvati Designs artwork, this distinctive deck showcases an exquisitely dressed woman in a flowing ivory gown beneath a magnificent black robe decorated with curling silver-blue waves. Holding an open fan and a delicate green branch, she stands against a spectacular geometric backdrop of black, gold, orange, and crimson.
Her sculptural powdered coiffure, beautifully patterned robe, jeweled shoes, graceful pose, and striking surroundings create an elegant fusion of Art Deco fashion illustration and Japanese-inspired decorative design. Printed on smooth 300gsm premium-coated cardstock, the deck includes 52 standard playing cards plus 2 Joker cards and comes in a clear acrylic box.
The Artwork
The Lady Of The Midnight Waves features an elegant woman stepping gracefully through an extraordinarily decorative interior. A long ivory gown falls in fluid folds around her figure, while a dramatic black outer robe sweeps behind her in an enormous cascade of fabric.
Silver-blue waves curl across the robe in elaborate rhythmic patterns, transforming the garment into a moving landscape of foam, water, and ornamental line. Intricate pale borders frame the dark fabric and emphasize its sweeping silhouette.
She carries an open ivory fan in one hand and a slender green branch in the other, lending the scene a wonderfully poised sense of ceremony. Her powdered coiffure and refined profile introduce an unexpected European note, creating a fanciful meeting of influences rather than an ordinary historical scene.
Behind her, a dazzling patterned screen fills the composition with checkerboard details and swirling forms in gold, orange, crimson, and black. A dark window, red furniture, delicate linework, and the nearly black surroundings provide an elegant counterpoint to the brilliant decorative pattern.
Reimagined in contemporary illustrative style, the artwork blends Art Deco fashion illustration, Japanese-inspired wave motifs, geometric pattern, theatrical elegance, flowing textiles, decorative interiors, and wonderfully cosmopolitan fantasy.
