This painting, among her most ambitious, represents the Jewish heroine Esther, who appeared before her husband, King Ahasuerus of Persia, in order to stave off a massacre of the Jewish people, breaking with court protocol and thereby risking death. Rather than historical recreation, contemporary theater informed how Gentileschi conceived this dramatic scene in which Esther faints just before the king grants her request. A servant of African descent restraining a dog was painted out by the artist, but is partly visible beneath the marble pavement to the left of the king’s knee.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/436453\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Esther before Ahasuerus\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artemisia Gentileschi","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887121277171,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (82\" x 8\")","offer_id":49887121309939,"sku":null,"price":1181.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (57 1\/4\" x 5 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887121342707,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (70 1\/8\" x 6 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887121375475,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (85 7\/8\" x 8 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887121408243,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (110 7\/8\" x 10 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887121441011,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (133 1\/8\" x 13 1\/8\")","offer_id":49887121473779,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (156 7\/8\" x 15 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887121506547,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (188 1\/4\" x 18 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887121539315,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/EstherbeforeAhasuerus.jpg?v=1784302347","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/esther-before-ahasuerus","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
