The story is told by a balladeer, who says, &quot;I&#39;ll tell you a truth about love and jealousy.” The king had a unique manner for justice that was carried out by putting the suspect of his kingdom into the arena where they would find themselves faced with two doors. The king would provide the accused with his choice of fate; one door leads to a beautiful woman -if the prisoner chooses that door, he is innocent and is required to marry the woman. Behind the other door is a ravenous tiger. If the prisoner chooses that door, he is deemed guilty and the tiger will kill him. Knowing this, the daughter and a man below her status engage in a tryst that has the bad fortune to come under the notice of the king. The lover was imprisoned and his punishment was to face the two doors. Behind the first door was a maiden that the king’s daughter chose for her beauty and should her lover chose this door, this maiden would be his bride. Behind the second door, there was a tiger. When the peasant entered the arena, he looked into seats around the arena for the eyes of the princess who could tell him which door to choose. So did she tell him the answer that would let him live or did she tell him the only answer that would permit her to keep him all for herself? Featured in this painting is the Steam-punk socialite and creator of “Dances of Vice” Miss. Shien Lee. <br /><br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31999408 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 22:56:02 -0400 35.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.94043903.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24020735 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.67274233.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> This print of the original oil painting (16x 24 inches and for sale through Billy Shire Fine Art in Culver City) is a part of my &quot;Intemperance&quot; series. The Honey Queen leans forward over a reclining male spilling golden drops over his torso. I wish I could tell you there was a happy ending... the honey cured his deadly void, he prince came back to life, and they lived happily ever after. Ladies if you have ever dating in your 30&#39;s, you know this Romeo was yet another void. Anymore when I call up my friends and share the fate of the latest Jake, my dearest gal pals tell me...&quot;well, at least you will have a new painting.&quot; A can&#39;t express the unending consternation of how that just isn&#39;t good enough...and yet I think this is a pretty damn good painting to commemorate another less than perfect love affair. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24020735 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 22:51:38 -0400 30.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.67274233.jpg new 1
