"Nehemiah Makes His Petition to Artaxerxes" is a painting by the Scottish artist William Brassey Hole (1846–1917), known for his religious and historical works. The painting depicts a scene from the Hebrew Bible, where Nehemiah, a cupbearer to the Persian king Artaxerxes, seeks permission to return to Jerusalem to rebuild its walls, which had been destroyed during the Babylonian conquest.

The artwork captures the pivotal moment when Nehemiah, deeply concerned about the plight of his people and the state of Jerusalem, approaches the king with a mixture of trepidation and resolve. The narrative is drawn from the Book of Nehemiah, Chapter 2, where Nehemiah prays to God before making his request to the king, who is moved by Nehemiah's plea and grants him the resources and protection needed for the task.

William Brassey Hole, who was also an illustrator and etcher, brings to this work his characteristic attention to detail and historical accuracy. The painting is noted for its rich color palette and the emotional expressiveness of the figures, which reflect Hole's academic style and his ability to convey the gravity of biblical events. The composition likely dates from the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when biblical subjects were popular among artists and the public, reflecting a widespread interest in religious and moral themes.

While the exact dimensions, current location, and provenance of "Nehemiah Makes His Petition to Artaxerxes" are not specified in this introduction, the painting stands as a testament to Hole's dedication to religious art and his skill in bringing biblical narratives to life on canvas. It serves as an example of the Victorian era's fascination with scriptural stories and the broader cultural movement to visualize and interpret these ancient texts through the medium of painting.
