About this artwork
Femme fatale archetypes of the Bible and Greek literature include Eve, Delilah, Salome, Lilith, Ishtar, and Cleopatra. A distinctive form of a figurative element. A curious angelic figure (femme fatale) of ‘wings’ and accessories that include 24k gold leaf cape with Swarovski crystals, all mounted to a wooden base covered with a circle of feathers and ‘pregnant with the word’. “Femme fatale is an alluring and seductive female whose charms ensnare…

"Dark Skinned Virgin” (with the Pregnant Word) (8.5” x 5.5” x 4”)
