- Lot Description
LOT #25 Dean Meeker Esther, 1968 Polymer color screen print and intaglio 34 _ x 22 7/8 in.; 39 x 27 in. framed $300-$400 Dean Meeker had a fondness for depicting biblical figures whose colorful narratives carried moral messages. Esther is a feminist icon whose cunning and boldness in exposing the scheming Mordechai to her husband, King Ahasuerus, made her a Jewish heroine celebrated during the festival of Purim; she is also a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Meeker portrays the young queen as simultaneously demure and confident—an elegant and intriguing figure whose compelling persona is expressed through her small, tilted head and attenuated hands, which stand out against the subdued but intricate pattern of her dress. This work has been donated anonymously; all funds raised will benefit the museum.
