Free Queen Esther Holding Ornate Scepters Coloring Page

This coloring page features Queen Esther from the book of Esther, depicted confidently with a long, wavy hairstyle falling down her shoulders, an elaborate crown on her head and large hoop earrings framing her peaceful face.  She holds two long scepters, with twisting designs on the shafts and tip, which symbolize her bravery and power in the Persian court. The gown features a beautifully designed embroidered bodice and sleeves, cinched with a jeweled belt, and a regal, hooded cape drapes from her shoulders elegantly.

The detail provides exquisite line work on the fabric with a floral design, and linear designs on the jewelry to allow for coloring in depth with shades of royal purple, gold and rich red. As a free printable homage to the ancient biblical accounts of bravery and faith, this coloring page lends itself well to a discussion of deliverance and queenship.

Enhance the large scepters with metallic colors for royal bling, or soften the background with light moving gradients as if it were the extravagant palace in Susa. Young artists can layer colors on the hair for flowing waves, allowing for creative strokes of color to tell Esther's story of saving her people in history.
