95: 293:. Both Esther and the king are in almost parallel diagonal angles. Ahasuerus leans forward in his chair as Esther faints backwards, being caught by the women behind her. The diagonal angles in the curtains in front of and behind the king also give the effect of drawing the eye towards him as if to remind the viewer to pay attention to him, too, instead of just focusing on Esther. There is also a lot of direct contrast in how they are both posed. Esther is falling backwards, her chin receding into her neck, while Ahasuerus is leaning forward and looks like he is about to stand up, his chin jutting out towards her. This is a very dynamic scene with a lot of movement from both Esther and the king. 306: 112: 407:
robes of state...a formidable sight". In contrast, Gentileschi's depiction of the king is not very formidable, and he is leaning forward in a comedic manner with a puzzled expression on his face as Esther faints. This does not seem to be the face of a king who has the power to order the execution of an entire race, and that may be part of Gentileschi's intent as far as his portrayal goes; the people in charge may not always appear as powerful and scary as their position entails.

Artemisia's works tend to reflect that training and as such are similar in style to Caravaggio's, but with less focus on dramatic setting and lighting seen in his works and more focus on the people involved and their characterizations. Her paintings are also less idealistic in portraying people and more naturalistic and even a bit mischievous, which can be seen in 282:
shown in better lighting, while Ahasuerus is in shadow, and the king is also depicted with an extravagant feathered hat and fur-trimmed boots that are also bejeweled. Esther, meanwhile, is depicted in more elegant and refined clothing. Gentileschi marks her as the protagonist of the scene in this way and gives her more agency while conveying the message of how much of a biblical heroine Esther is.
268:, Esther went before him, without being summoned, to beg for him to spare her people. This broke court etiquette and Esther risked death in doing so. She ended up fainting before the king – the moment depicted in Gentileschi's work. Her action ended up softening the king's decision, and he permitted the Jews to defend themselves against his attack, preventing them from being killed off. 29: 286:
dress stands out in comparison to the rest of the painting, bringing attention to her figure. She is also better lit than the king, who is almost in shadow. His color palette is also different from the background with an outfit of white and dark green, but unlike Esther, he does not stand out as much due to the fact that he is in darker colors.

relied on for his depiction, Esther's relationship with the King is meant to represent Mary's unity with Christ. The pomegranate, which is embroidered on Esther's dress in Guercino's and Artemisia's paintings, also symbolize the Virgin. The fruit reference's Mary's attributes – chastity and immortality.

Artemisia was not singular in her choice to depict the theme of Esther before Ahasuerus. Other artists of the period had also painted this passage from the book of Esther. Like Artemisia, Guercino shows Esther swooning and being held up by her maids. In the Apocryphal text, which Guercino most likely

In addition, Gentileschi paid a lot of attention to the folds of the fabrics as well as in Ahasuerus's boots, and she even made the stitches on the hem of Esther's dress so exact that they almost look real. Gentileschi's attention to detail is also visible in the cracks of the marble ground as well

Looking closely, one can see what looks like the shadow of a boy near the king's knee. X-rays by the Metropolitan Museum of Art revealed that this was a figure of an African boy restraining a dog that was painted over intentionally; this is thought to be a reference to Veronese's depiction of this

The colors in this piece are generally more muted and not very vibrant. Shades of red run throughout much of the background, darkened by brown to come off as shadows. The king Ahasuerus also has red in his outfit in the sash that he wears over his neck. Because of this, Esther's vibrantly yellow

332:. As one of the only prominent women in the Baroque era, Gentileschi's work is very well known. Her consistent motifs of women having power over men and even killing them is possibly a revenge narrative linked to the fact that Gentileschi was raped by her father's friend 383:, placing himself as the figure of the female mythological creature. Ahasuerus is characterized as a "modish dandy of a type", a depiction Caravaggio would use to represent "superficiality". In juxtaposition to the King, Esther is majestic in her swooning 363:. The king gravitates towards Esther, the significant figure in the composition. The dynamic between the two figures suggests role-reversal; Esther holds the power of the monarchy, and Ahasuerus is the novice.  The role-reversal seen in Artemisia's 208:
