"Esther before Ahasuerus" is a notable painting from the late 1650s by French Baroque painter Nicolas Poussin. This work is part of Poussin's mature period, during which he created some of his most celebrated biblical and historical scenes. The painting depicts the dramatic moment from the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, where Queen Esther, the Jewish wife of the Persian King Ahasuerus (also known as Xerxes I), reveals her Jewish heritage and pleads with the king to spare her people from a decree that would have led to their massacre. The story symbolizes the triumph of good over evil and is celebrated in the Jewish festival of Purim.

Poussin's interpretation of this pivotal moment is characterized by his meticulous attention to detail, harmonious composition, and the emotional intensity of the figures. The artist's use of color, light, and shadow enhances the dramatic effect of the scene, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures of Esther and Ahasuerus. Esther is depicted at the moment of her intercession, often shown in a state of swoon, which emphasizes her vulnerability and courage. Ahasuerus is portrayed as a powerful yet attentive ruler, his posture and expression reflecting the moment's gravity.

This painting is an exemplary illustration of Poussin's mastery in conveying complex narratives through art, his ability to blend classical ideals with emotional depth, and his influence on the development of French Baroque painting. "Esther before Ahasuerus" is not only a significant work in Poussin's oeuvre but also an important piece in the study of 17th-century European art, offering insights into the cultural, religious, and historical contexts of the period. The painting is celebrated for its artistic and historical significance, contributing to Poussin's reputation as one of the leading painters of the classical French Baroque style.
