Finally did a stylized portrait of my medieval oc Mathilde!
The portrait is based off of this page from the manuscript: De Mulieribus Claris (Concerning Famous Women) By Giovanni Boccaccio. This page in particular depicting Lucretia. Although the manuscript is from the 15th century, my oc Mathilde, is from a fantastical version of Norman France. The fantasy is basically magic is real, but other than that it’s all the same historically.

Today is the last day to join the project:

‘From the Reformation onwards, libraries were scoured for controversial texts. Various shorthand terms were used in catalogues to indicate which should be considered and potentially destroyed. […] The title of this book — Femina — was the label scribbled alongside texts known to be worn by a woman. […] We can only womder how many other texts were dismissed or destroyed as the work of ‘femina’.’
