Sheldon Lichter has been looking for a good image of Chasseriau’s The Toilet of Esther and I’m happy to oblige. The original painting is somewhat damaged, but I managed to clean it up quite a bit. Here it is…
Esther Preparing to be Presented to King Ahasuerus or The Toilet of Esther, 1841
Andromeda Chained to the Rock by the Nereids, Theodore Chasseriau, 1840
Chasseriau’s Andromeda painting was subject to a lot of damage and required a lot of digital restoration (by me) to achieve the kind of image quality below. Want to see how bad it started out?
