The 7 of Pentacles Card Description
In the original Rider-Waite tarot deck the Seven of Pentacles card depicts an individual with a gardening tool, appearing to take a break from his hard work to admire the fruits of his labor.
In this case, the fruits of his labor are depicted in the form of seven large pentacles hanging from a lush, green vine.
The way his head is resting on his hands, and the way his hands are resting on his gardening tool, make it appear as though he has worked very hard and is now resting.
