When I was looking at these I notcied some potential connections between them, so I thought I'd do both at once.
Wands: They both are associated with lions - she has a carved lioness statue by her throne, he has a live lion at his feet. There's a lot of fire around him, but in her hands this is about the life spark within the flower she holds and maybe the stained glass behind her. He's looking at you as if he doesn't know what to make of what he sees, but she's just contemplating the flower in her hand.
Swords: What a scary pair!- straight from a horror film. Their backgrounds both have a stormy quality to them, and there's something very controlled and/ or controlling there. He looks like a justice bringer with the cross, the sword and the scales, and I can't imagine it being tempered by mercy. At first glance, she looks very passive but I'm not convinced, I think she's just as dangerous but in a more subtle way. There's a strange contrast between the way she's buttoned up to the neck and her silk stocking top showing - what's that about? Is she a vampire queen do you think?
Pentacles: He seems like he's a master of the universe - time and space are both represented behind him. A rather androgenous figure. She, on the other hand, seems more sensual and has some empress-like trappings what with the large rabbit and the roses. I get the impression that she's into the sensual side of the physical world wheras he's into the intellectual side.
Cups: I think he's an alchemist, what with the glass vessel and the Owl, his feet rest on what looks like a brass half-globe of the World. Those glass windows remind me of the ones in the Queen of Wands. Is that blood by his chair? And what's that strange shaped cup about that has him looking so pensive? She seems more relaxed holding that cup with the pentacle on it. I'm not sure what she's planning though, that thigh flash seems rather calculated (what IS it with these Queens and thighs???). The eye topped triangle inscribed by her marble throne echose her King's necklace perhaps.
