The Page of Cups is dressed in an aqua tunic trimmed in gold; the tunic is detailed to look like the scales of a fish. Indeed, a headdress in the form of a blue fish sits atop his head. The page holds a goblet in which a fish is peeking out, and there are fins on the calves of his leggings. There is a glowing pearl on the tip of the fish's tongue. The page seems to be tickling the fish under its chin. The water behind the page is calm and a whale (?) is diving back down under the water, and its large tail fin is visible. This page is focused on the fish and doesnt' seem to be looking at where he's going .
What is the significance of the large whale in the background, diving back underwater?
This page so wants to be a fish (based on his attire)...why?
He seems to be so focused on the fish, and having the fish, that he is ignoring the pearl that the fish is offering him.
Thoughts?
