The Knave of Swords stands holding a blue sword in his right hand and a shield on his left arm, marked with the name Herla. He smiles and looks toward the left side of the card. He wears an outfit patterned with red, blue, and green diamonds and a belt shaped like a golden serpent. He also wears a tall purple hat with two feathers in its brim. His slippers have a curling spade design and he bends his left knee.
