DescriptionThe image is dominated by a three-quarters portrait-like female figure dressed in a flowing white dress with a blue waist girdle and a white veil. Two long plaits of hair, one over each shoulder, extend down to where her hands are clasped. Next to her, on the right, is a large pot filled with palm fronds. Behind the palms are three female figures. There are two Roman arches in the background, behind all the figures. A painted decorative gold border with blue circled patterns throughout is broken along bottom edge by the words "Esther is chosen queen" written in gold gothic script with a blue background.
