“Parsing Bill,” by Petrina Ryan-KleidPetrina Ryan-Kleid<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s certainly a conversation starter.<\/p>\n

Jeffrey Epstein had an oil painting of Bill Clinton in a blue dress \u2014 lounging on a chair in the Oval Office \u2014 hanging up in his Manhattan townhouse, according to law enforcement sources.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was hanging up there prominently \u2014 as soon as you walked in \u2014 in a room to the right,\u201d a source told The Post. \u201cEverybody who saw it laughed and smirked.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the bizarre home decor didn\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n

Epstein, 66, also kept a mannequin hanging from the ceiling \u2014 dressed up in a wedding gown, the source said, noting how the doll was situated above a staircase.<\/p>\n

A woman who visited Epstein\u2019s $56 million home confirmed the existence of the Clinton painting\u00a0to the Daily Mail,<\/a> but didn\u2019t mention the mannequin. She was able to snap a picture of the painting, which was posted online Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In it, the former president can be seen lounging on a chair in the Oval Office \u2014 pointing toward the viewer \u2014 while wearing red heels and a blue dress similar to the one Monica Lewinsky famously donned during their White House hookup.<\/p>\n

A piece dubbed \u201cParsing Bill\u201d was\u00a0painted and sold<\/a>\u00a0by a New York-based artist named Petrina Ryan-Kleid. Saatchi Art, an online art gallery, describes it as an \u201coil on canvas\u201d with dimensions of 40 W x 40 H x 2 in. The painting inside Epstein\u2019s home appears to be the same size, and sources told The Post it was also done with oil.<\/p>\n

Attempts to reach Ryan-Kleid were unsuccessful on Wednesday night. A relative, when reached by telephone, said he knew of the painting\u2019s existence but was unaware of a connection to Epstein.<\/p>\n

The Clinton camp did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n
