What is shown in this coloring page?

After Queen Vashti was removed, King Xerxes (Ahasuerus) sought a new queen. Beautiful young women from across the empire were brought to the palace. Among them was Esther, who found favor with everyone who saw her, especially the king. The scene shows Esther in royal robes, being crowned by King Xerxes, surrounded by the opulence of the Persian palace. This was God positioning her "for such a time as this" to protect the Jewish people.
