Focus on this artwork and explain the Subject and composition.
The setting of Egyptian Queen is a palace interior. The upper left part of the image is illuminated and shows a near-nude woman who looks toward the viewer and leans against a thick stone column. Her eyes are painted with kohl and she wears a plumed headdress, a minimal and swirly shaped cover for her large breasts, and a long, blue and green cloth attached to her hips. Below the column is a short set of stairs covered by a carpet with a papyrus flower pattern. At the foot of the stairs is a crouching leopard, wearing a collar attached to a chain that hangs loose on the floor. In the background to the right, in a darker part of the picture, is a bare-chested and muscular man who wears a headcloth and carries a drawn scimitar. Egyptian Queen is painted in oil on stretched canvas. The image area is 25.5 in × 19.75 in (64.8 cm × 50.2 cm).
