Description

According to the Megillah, or book of Esther, Esther was a Jewish queen of the Persian king Ahasuerus. Ahasuerus is traditionally identified with Xerxes I during the time of the Achaemenid empire. Her story is the basis for the celebration of Purim in Jewish tradition. King Ahasuerus' advisor Haman convinced the king that the Jewish people must be massacred. Risking her life Esther invited both the king and Haman to a banquet. During the banquet Esther asked that the king spare her life as well as the lives of her people, the Jews of the Persian Empire, Haman's treachery so inflamed the king that he left the banquet and went into the palace garden. Haman pleaded with Esther to save his life, ending up on her couch beside her as he begged�which caused the king to jump to an obvious conclusion upon returning to the banquet from the garden. Seeing Haman thus, the king cried, "Will he force the queen also before me in the house?" Whereupon, the king's chamberlains seized Haman, and one of them told the king of the gallows Haman had constructed for Esther's cousin Mordecai. The king told them: "Hang Haman thereon." And so Haman was hung on the gallows he had built for Mordecai, and "the king's wrath pacified." The king then appointed Mordecai as his prime minister and allowed the Jews to defend themselves.This is a signed original work painted in oil on canvas.
