Mirabelle from In Stars and Time stands strong on a grassy hill with lavenders. She is backlit. There are small Change god statues in front of her on the hill, standing in the grass. Mirabelle's dress is blowing, billowing, and twisting around her legs. She is holding up her rapier in her left hand and looking slightly up with a determined look in her eyes. The sky, from top to bottom, is darker at the top of the image and growing lighter as it reaches the grassy hill in the bottom of the piece. There is a slight glow behind the hill and Mirabelle where the sun is rising from. To either side of Mirabelle are a set of puffy clouds framing her and 3 slightly transparent, concentric circles behind her and behind her held up rapier. There are birds flying through the larger set of circles. Framing the outside of the circles are The King and Euphrasie drawn in white and filled with a transparent white. The King is crying into his hands. Euphrasie is clasping her hands together with her eyes closed. Above The King and Euphrasie are mirabelle plum branches with sparkles around them. Above that is text that reads, The Housemaiden, in a serif font. Above the text are mirabelle plum flower branches in bloom.
