The Boy In The Red Vest (Painting)

[+ Avalon]

This painting was mentioned in passing in the recent episode of "Scandal".

 

VP Cyrus Beene (who is gay) at a White House dinner was seated beside some gay uncouth millionaire who bragged to Cyrus that he bought the painting.

An interesting painting, but what's your point here?

I was unfamiliar with this painting. I thought it might have some special gay significance since it in particular was used on the show in discussion between two gay men.

 

A discussion of Leonardo or Michelangelo would have been obvious.
