That much was clear when news spread this month about Parsing Bill, a bizarre portrait of Clinton that serial sex offender Jeffrey Epstein had displayed in his Manhattan townhouse. The portrait showed Clinton clad in red pumps and a blue dress and pointing at the viewer. Lewinsky once was photographed wearing a beret and hugging Clinton at a rope line outside the White House, before their scandal broke in 1998.

Jeffrey Epstein reportedly had a large painting of Bill Clinton wearing red heels and a blue dress hanging in his Manhattan mansion. The picture depicting the former president apparently lounging on a chair in the Oval Office, wearing red heels and posing suggestively in a blue dress redolent of Monica Lewinsky was in a room off the stairway of the Upper East Side townhouse. The 77-year-old artist, who referred to Clinton as "the most famous liar of all time," admitted that he was never able to shake the Lewinsky scandal from his mind at the time.

And in a 2001 interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer, Shanks insisted he was taking the assignment seriously. Although she was stunned by the painting, her business partner managed to take a snap of the painting. That image is apparently inspired by the famous image of Uncle Sam used in James Montgomery Flagg’s World War I recruiting poster.

The 77-year-old has painted princesses and popes, but when it came to recording Clinton's presidency for the canvas, Shanks said he added a little something extra -- a shadow of Lewinsky's blue dress. Bill Clinton’s dress portrait was spotted inside Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion in October 2012. The witness has remained anonymous, but claimed to see the portrait while being led from Epstein’s office to his personal quarters. The witness saw the portrait through a door that had been left temporarily open by one of the house keepers.

Nayel donned the blue dress and red heels in 2012 as he posed for Australian artist Petrina Ryan-Kleid, who created the work at the New York Academy of Art. Shanks says he placed a mannequin in a blue dress to cast a shadow on the mantle while he was painting. However, the mannequin and the president were never in the room at the same time, he noted.

Epstein was facing charges of sex trafficking that stemmed from activities over a period of three years in the early 2000s. He served a 13-month prison sentence in Florida in 2008 after he was charged with similar offenses and was forced to register as a sex offender. His attorneys unsuccessfully lobbied for bail and house arrest on the new charges, but a federal New York judge declared him a flight risk and a danger to the community.

"It is also a bit of a metaphor in that it represents a shadow on the office he held, or on him," he said.
