A Queen and her lady-in-waiting flee across Iceland’s stark, icy landscape. Stripped of comfort and certainty, the Queen appears vulnerable, yet she trusts the brave companion who leads her through danger. The Queen’s black dress suggests elegance and grief, while the lady-in-waiting’s blue cloak recalls the Madonna of Mercy, symbolizing protection. Their gold crowns signify power and light, while the rubies—stones of life and love—hint at both peril and healing.
