An Aubusson Biblical tapestry, late 17th-early 18th century By begging the king's help, Esther succeeds in thwarting Haman's plan to have the Jews of Ahasuerus' kingdom murdered. The subject, taken from the Old Testament book of Esther, was a great success with private customers, and the hanging was woven several times in the workshops of the Manufacture Royale d'Aubusson. The chosen model re-uses the composition of Esther before Ahasuerus engraved by Jean Le Clerc (late 16th-early 17th century).
