Meanings
The scholar. A methodical, serious youth who assesses all available data before making a decision. Slow and steady wins the race. A practical message – eg, financial advice or a business proposal.
Reversed (?)
The scatterbrain. Someone so easily distracted by new information that they veer off constantly on new tangents, forgetting the task at hand. Their love of life and learning is very endearing though.
Description
A young scholar in a black robe and cap sits at a desk, holding his gloves. On the desk before him is an inkwell with a pen, and a book with a note tucked inside. Another book sits on a shelf behind him near a wall-hanging in green and gold featuring a pattern of clasped hands and initials.
