Description:

Framed 

Queen of Sheba is yet another biblical subject in which the story concerns a powerful and seductive woman who tests a man. The Queen of Sheba is sometimes identified with Lilith, a subject Glasco explored at least several times. Sheba was often called half human, half demon, was a seductive dancer, and perhaps had a left foot that was cloven like a goat, and a hairy leg. Glasco collaged a hotel drapery cord and tassel (The Algonquin) into the work.
