A beautiful depiction of the story of Ester.

Ami Rosenthal Ann Arbor Mi

The Story of Esther is an ancient story told every year at this time. The painting is rich in detail, one could reach in and touch the ermine on Ahasuerus's robe, or the jewels on Esther's elegant dress. Very typical of Guercino and the Baroque period.
