Beschreibung
Queen Esther stands among the royal figures of the Persian court, crowned and veiled beside King Ahasuerus, the faithful Mordecai, and the hard-faced adversary Haman. The composition presents the central human drama of the Book of Esther: a Jewish queen placed in royal power for a moment of deliverance, a king whose decree governs life and death, a righteous counselor who refuses compromise, and a proud official whose hatred threatens God’s covenant people. The image is well suited for teaching Esther’s courage, divine providence, intercession, and the reversal of evil through God’s unseen hand.
