"Mordecai, costume for 'Esther'" is an illustration from Volume I of "Research on the Costumes and Theatre of All Nations" (French: "Recherches sur les costumes et le théâtre de toutes les nations"), a work by the French artist and costume designer Philippe Chery (1759–1838). The illustration is part of a comprehensive study that delves into the diverse theatrical costumes and traditions from various cultures and historical periods. Chery's work is significant for its detailed depiction of costumes, which provides valuable insights into the fashion and theatrical practices of the time.

The illustration specifically represents the character Mordecai from the biblical story of Esther, which has been adapted into numerous plays and theatrical performances over the centuries. In the Book of Esther, Mordecai is a Jewish man living in Persia who becomes a key figure in saving his people from a plot to destroy them. Chery's depiction of Mordecai's costume reflects the artist's interpretation of historical and cultural attire, blending authenticity with artistic license to create a visually compelling image suitable for the stage.

Philippe Chery's "Research on the Costumes and Theatre of All Nations" is an important resource for historians, costume designers, and theatre enthusiasts, offering a window into the visual and performative aspects of historical narratives like that of Esther. The work not only showcases Chery's artistic skill but also serves as a historical document, capturing the imagination and understanding of different cultures' theatrical expressions at the turn of the 19th century.
