"The Toilet of Esther" is an 1841 oil painting by French artist Théodore Chassériau, a prominent painter of the Romantic period who was influenced by both Eugène Delacroix and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. The painting depicts a scene from the biblical story of Esther, who was chosen by the Persian King Ahasuerus to become his queen. In this work, Chassériau illustrates the moment before Esther presents herself to the king, hoping to win his favor and eventually save her people from persecution.

Measuring 45.5 cm by 35.5 cm, the painting is renowned for its intimate scale and the exquisite detail with which Chassériau rendered the luxurious interior and Esther's sumptuous attire. The artist's mastery of light and shadow is evident in the way he captures the soft illumination of the room, highlighting the delicate textures of fabrics and the reflective surfaces around Esther.

The composition focuses on the figure of Esther, who is seen seated at her toilette, surrounded by her attendants. The scene is imbued with a sense of quiet anticipation and the gravity of the moment is conveyed through Esther's contemplative expression. Chassériau's use of rich, warm colors and his attention to the intricacies of the human form and the opulent setting are characteristic of his work during this period.

"The Toilet of Esther" is considered one of Chassériau's masterpieces and reflects his ability to blend the academic tradition with the more expressive and coloristic aspects of Romanticism. The painting is held in the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic beauty. It stands as a testament to Chassériau's talent and his unique position in the history of 19th-century French art, bridging the gap between the neoclassical and romantic schools of painting.
