I remember reading about Alexander the Great, many years ago, that when he conquered the Persians, he adopted their dress, which upset his soldiers because they considered it ‘feminine’..................
Good Morning Dan, and happy Monday to all.

# 12 by Edwin Long. Another artist who had traveled to the middle-east, this painting reflects the impressions of those trips. Long depicts Vashti in her vulnerable moment, sadness and resignation, even her crown is on a table at her left perhaps foreshadowing that she will soon have to relinquish it. It is a huge paintings with beautiful details.
