00:00Inside Jeffrey Epstein's $56 million Manhattan mansion,
00:04visitors were greeted by a painting so bizarre it felt like a coded message.
00:09It depicts Bill Clinton in a blue dress and red heels, lounging in the Oval Office.
00:14Was it a secret signal or something even stranger?
00:18For years, the internet spun theories about what the secret message was.
00:23But the truth started in a classroom.
00:25The artist is Petrina Ryan Clyde, who painted it in 2012 for her master's thesis at the New York Academy
00:32of Art.
00:33It's actually titled Parsing Bill.
00:35It wasn't commissioned by Epstein.
00:37He reportedly bought it at a fundraiser for just a few thousand dollars.
00:42It was part of a satirical duo.
00:44The second painting, War Games, showed George W. Bush playing with paper airplanes on the floor.
00:50So, what's the message?
00:52The artist confirmed the blue dress is a direct reference to the Monica Lewinsky scandal,
00:58the dress that became key evidence in Clinton's impeachment.
01:01This secret isn't a code.
01:03It's satire.
01:04It parodies how political parties caricature their opponents.
01:08But there's a chilling irony.
01:10Epstein chose to hang this specific reminder of a political sex scandal
01:14in the hallway of the very house where his own crimes were taking place.
01:18When the painting went viral in 2019, Bill Clinton denied ever seeing it.
01:23However, the mystery deepened when another artist, Nelson Shanks,
01:28revealed he'd hidden a similar blue dress shadow
01:30in Clinton's official National Portrait Gallery painting years earlier.
01:35Whether it was a taunt or a trophy,
01:37the painting remains a haunting symbol of the intersection between power,
01:41scandal, and the Epstein saga.
