Cracked by Nishant Raman, Rajesh Mohan, Praveen & Anonymous bayya/behan
The answer was ..
Shirley Temple, The Youngest, Most Sacred Monster of the Cinema in Her Time (or Shirley Temple, The Youngest, Most Sacred Monster of Contemporary Cinema) – Salvador dali
It depicts the head of child star Shirley Temple, taken from a newspaper photograph, superimposed on the body of a red lioness . The painting is thought to be a satire of the sexualization of child stars by Hollywood.
