"Esther och Ahasverus" (Esther and Ahasuerus) is a painting by the German artist Julius Friedrich Anton Schrader, created in 1848. The artwork is a depiction of the biblical story of Esther, who was a Jewish queen of the Persian king Ahasuerus (also known as Xerxes I). In the biblical narrative, Esther is chosen by the king to be his queen for her beauty and later uses her position to save her people from a massacre planned by the king's advisor, Haman.

Schrader's painting captures a pivotal moment in the Book of Esther, where the queen is revealing her Jewish identity to the king and pleading for the salvation of her people. The artwork is characterized by its dramatic intensity, rich color palette, and meticulous attention to historical detail, reflecting Schrader's academic training and his interest in historical and biblical subjects.

Julius Friedrich Anton Schrader (1815–1900) was a prominent figure in the Berlin art scene of the 19th century. He was a member of the Prussian Academy of Arts and is known for his historical paintings, which often featured grand, theatrical compositions. Schrader's works were widely appreciated for their narrative quality and their ability to convey complex emotions and situations.

"Esther och Ahasverus" is an example of Schrader's masterful storytelling through art and is considered an important work within his oeuvre. The painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and religious implications, as it illustrates a key moment of Jewish history and heroism. The artwork remains an enduring testament to Schrader's skill as a painter and his contribution to the genre of historical painting.
