"Then Esther said to Mordechai, 'Go, assemble all the Jews to be found in Shushan and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I, with my maids, will fast also. Then I will go to the King though it’s unlawful, and if I perish, I perish.'" (The Book of Esther 4:15-16)Colored Pencil on Canson Paper
