‘The Parents’ from War (Krieg), a set of eight woodcuts created between 1921 and 1922, by Käthe Kollwitz (born 8 July 1867; died 22 April 1945), from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York

The most famous woman painter of the seventeenth century, Gentileschi worked in Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples, and London. This painting, among her most ambitious, represents the Jewish heroine Esther, who appeared before her husband, King Ahasuerus of Persia, in order to stave off a massacre of the Jewish people, breaking with court protocol and thereby risking death. Rather than historical recreation, contemporary theater informed how Gentileschi conceived this dramatic scene in which Esther faints just before the king grants her request. A servant of African descent restraining a dog was painted out by the artist, but is partly visible beneath the marble pavement to the left of the king’s knee.
