"Haman and Ahasuerus at the Feast of Esther" is a significant oil painting by the Dutch artist Aert de Gelder, completed in 1685. As a notable work of art from the Dutch Golden Age, it depicts a scene from the biblical story of Esther, which is recounted in the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible. The painting captures the dramatic moment when Queen Esther reveals to King Ahasuerus the malevolent plot of Haman, his advisor, to annihilate the Jewish people.

Aert de Gelder (1645–1727) was among the last pupils of Rembrandt van Rijn and is known for his unique approach to biblical and historical subjects, often imbued with a Rembrandtesque use of chiaroscuro and a vivid portrayal of emotion. "Haman and Ahasuerus at the Feast of Esther" is considered one of De Gelder's masterpieces and is exemplary of his mature style, which combined the influence of his teacher with his own artistic sensibilities.

The painting is characterized by its dramatic lighting and the intense expressions of the figures, which convey the tension and emotion of the scene. De Gelder's skillful composition and use of color heighten the impact of the narrative moment, with the figures of Esther, Ahasuerus, and Haman engaged in a psychological and moral confrontation.

"Haman and Ahasuerus at the Feast of Esther" is held in high esteem for its historical and cultural significance, as well as its artistic merit. It serves as an important example of Dutch Jewish art and provides insight into the religious and social context of the period. The work is currently housed in the collection of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, Russia, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars, art enthusiasts, and the general public.
