He replaced the caption “Concordia” with the biblical “Esther,” the subject of a 1905 opera by Hahn, and he set her next to her adoptive father “Mordecai,” drawn from a statue of Saint Jerome. Below, Proust wrote that Esther is shown “with little birds,” while Mordecai is “botsched.” Courtesy of Houghton Library, Harvard University
