虽然简·斯蒂恩主要以描写农民生活的生动场面而闻名，但他至少创作了60幅涉及圣经、神话和历史主题的画。《阿哈苏鲁斯的愤怒》指的是《旧约》中埃丝特的故事。埃丝特是犹太人的王后，也是波斯国王阿哈苏鲁斯的妻子。亚哈随鲁斯被埃丝特的美貌迷住了，把她选作他的妻子，但不知道她是犹太人。与此同时，阿哈苏鲁斯的首席部长哈曼阴谋消灭波斯帝国的犹太人。以斯帖定意救自己的百姓，为亚哈随鲁和哈曼摆设筵席，要将哈曼交给王。最后，以斯帖得胜了，哈曼被判处死刑，以斯帖从亚哈随鲁得到了一个法令，允许犹太人反抗他们的敌人。这幅画描绘了以斯帖揭露了她的犹太身份，并指责哈曼阴谋反对她和她的人民的最戏剧性的时刻。

Although Jan Steen is primarily known for portraying lively scenes of peasant life, he produced at least 60 paintings that dealt with biblical, mythological and historical subjects. Wrath of Ahasuerus refers to the story of Esther in the Old Testament. Esther, was a Jewish queen and wife of Ahasuerus, the King of Persia. Ahasuerus, captivated by Esther’s beauty, selected her for his wife, but did not know that she was Jewish. At the same time, Ahasuerus’s chief minister, Haman, plotted to annihilate the Jews in the Persian Empire. Esther, determined to save her people, prepared a banquet for Ahasuerus and Haman, with the intention of exposing Haman to the King. In the end, Esther was triumphant, Haman was sentenced to death and Esther secured a decree from Ahasuerus that allowed the Jews to defend themselves against their enemies. The painting depicts the most dramatic moment, after Esther reveals her Jewish identity and accuses Haman of plotting against her and her people.
