I had never seen this work before but the story of Esther seems like a natural choice for Doré, as most of his work was very theatrical.
ReplyDeleteDoré illustrated the whole Bible and so there are a lot of images. A good resource is:

Interesting is also that Doré produced mass products, a kind of "pre comics". Some art historians call him even the "industrialized romantican".
But I like his art, maybe because of that.
