“Lady in Waiting” is another painting from Philipp Weber’s Queen series. This time, she has distracted her pursuers and lured them away from her beloved Queen.

In order to stop them, she became injured but was able to escape. The plan worked, and now she can rest again.
Her black garment speaks of grief and imminent, mortal danger, but at the same time, it exudes bravery and strength. The rubies of her diadem, symbols of life and love, correspond to the red of the wounds that she suffered in the struggle for her mistress which in turn symbolizes love and sacrifice.
