La Rena de Saba (The Queen of Sheba) displays the uniquely theatrical and bold style that permeates the distinctive oeuvre of Federico Beltrán-Masses. Simultaneously traditional yet daringly modern, the striking canvases of the Cuban-Spanish master truly defy classification. Highly popular in his day as a portraitist, Beltrán-Masses has enjoyed a revival of interest in recent years, with retrospectives dedicated to his career held in Barcelona in 2011, Paris in 2012, and London in 2012 and 2016.
