The Wicked Queen image
The image frequently used for wicked queen costumes for Halloween and the like is based on Disney's wicked queen in Snow White. Wikipedia says she was partly based on the name role in the 1935 movie "She" ... but where did she come from?
Disney's Wicked Queen:
The queen in "She":
The original:
Ekkehard II, Margrave of Meissen, and his wife Uta : part of a dramatic sculptural group of the 11th-century founders of Naumburg Cathedral, Germany. They look anxious because they are watching a shouted quarrel between two other statues in the group. These were carved two centuries later, c 1250, in the Naumburg Master's workshop.
