The Queen of Sheba An ancient queen like you've never seenAn abrupt blaring of trumpets! A shrill shrieking of peacocks! And suddenly - time is no more. The Queen of Sheba steps from the frame of the magnificent painting, The Visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon by Edward Poynter. In a dazzle of jewels, feathered flabellums and sassy witticisms, the Queen leads deliciously sassy tours through the Gallery's Old Courts.
