Esther, Ahasuerus, and Haman

Jan Steen

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a scene with three main figures: a woman in a blue and orange dress sits on a couch, a man in a white and red robe stands beside the couch with his right hand raised, and a man in a brown robe sits on a chair to the right, with his left hand on his forehead. A table with a white tablecloth and fruit is in front of the couch. A crowd of people surrounds them. The woman holds a plate. The standing man wears a turban. The seated man on the right wears a red cap. The room has a tiled floor, and an archway in the background reveals a blue sky and trees. The scene is indoors.
