"Mantis Assassin"

Peter Chan's painting "Mantis Assassin" was inspired, the artist says, "by the elegant forms of the praying mantis' exoskeleton. This graceful but deadly dancer was sent on a mission to seduce and assassinate an enemy king. Weapons concealed beneath her striking formal costume are employed to provide a most exciting climax to her performance."
