Young Queen Esther, large in the foreground, seen from behind and slightly to the side so a little of her calm face shows in profile, about two thirds of the frame's height, standing at the start of a tall, simple palace hall; the king small and far away on his throne at the end of the hall with a normal, kind face; soft light, her gown and veil trailing; brave and quiet, in lamp-lit light
