Five of Pentacles

Description

A light-skinned, naked person is crouched on the floor with their head in their hands. Long brown hair obscures their face. Four large yellow coins are stacked on their back, with a fifth one about to be added to the stack. Two light-skinned hands reach out to help from the right side of the scene, but the figure does not see them.
