Description
Jeanne d'Arc and Marie Antoinette

I am really fond of French History. Maybe theese two women are my favourite characters.
Both misunderstood from History itself, both with a tragic end.
To be honest, I am quite ignorant in Jeanne d'Arc story: my interest in her, follows my childish ideal of the warrior woman who takes back Orleans and guides an entire army. I never really serached historical sources to know her better.
And also it's not a fact of religion! I am not a christian, nor I follow any canonic religion. But I find inspiring her faith and all the misterious thing of the sacred mission and the voices of the angels.
I surely should stuy Jeanne better.
Marie Antoinette, instead, is one of my favourite historical character ever. Tradition completely mishandles her: where she was demure, they called her a harlot. Where she was gentle, they called her demoniac. when she was sad, humiliated and frustrated, they called her vain, spoony, and frivolous. She was a great mother and wife.
Her only fault was being dauphine / queen in the wrong period of France and of her life (a teenager).

I would talk about her for ages, so I end here.
I hope you'll like the drawing, which is the thing that matters to me.
