Artemisia Gentileschi, Esther Before Ahasuerus, c. 1628-35

Rembrandt van Rijn, Ahasuerus and Haman at the Feast of Esther, 1660

'Here one sees Haman eating with Ahasuerus and Esther. / But it is in vain; his breast is full of regret and pain. / He eats Esther's food; but deeper into her heart. / The king is mad with revenge and rage. / The wrath of a monarch...'

Edwin Long, Queen Esther, 1878
