Graftombe van Esther en Mordechai 1843 - 1854

Eugène Flandin's "Graftombe van Esther en Mordechai" is a lithograph created between 1843 and 1854. The artwork depicts two scenes: the tomb of Esther and Mordechai in Hamadan, Iran, and a view of the tomb from a distance. Flandin, a French architect and archaeologist, created the lithographs during his travels in the Middle East. The detailed depiction of the tomb, its intricate carvings, and the surrounding landscape provides a glimpse into the architecture and culture of Persia in the 19th century. This artwork offers valuable insights into the history of the region and its rich artistic heritage. The artwork can be found at the Rijksmuseum.
