The Persian king Ahasuerus sits at right on a throne, wearing a turban with a crown, a cape with ermine around the neck and shoulders, and a gold chain around his neck.  He holds a slender scepter towards a woman in elaborate dress and crown, who has fainted at left.  This woman, Queen Esther, is supported by two handmaidens who each looks towards the king.
