#16  Do you mean Bill Clinton didn't pose for the painting?

Yes. Apologies that I was not clear.

#15  This leads to the conclusion that she stuck Mr. Clinton’s head on a stock image rather than painting from life.

??? Looks like a painting on bare canvas to me.

Do you mean Bill Clinton didn't pose for the painting? Then I agree.

#14  From the Daily Beast after I looked up the artist named in Unosh Hupinelet8756‘s link:

The artist behind a painting of Bill Clinton in a blue dress and red heels said it was a “complete surprise” to learn that it ended up in Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion. The Daily Mail was the first to report that the artwork was hanging on the wall of the accused sex trafficker’s Manhattan townhouse. Artist Petrina Ryan-Kleid said she painted it while a grad student at the New York Academy of Art in 2012 and it was sold at a school fundraiser. “I had no idea who the buyer was at the time. As with most of my paintings, I had completely lost track of this piece when it was sold seven years,” she said in a statement. Epstein’s ownership of the painting raised eyebrows because of his ties to Clinton, who distanced himself from the financier after he was accused of sex-trafficking.

This leads to the conclusion that she stuck Mr. Clinton’s head on a stock image rather than painting from life.

#6  Wonder if he had to blackmail him to pose for it, or did Bill often dress that way in his company ? Hillary's disposition suggests the latter.
