The Painting "Queen of Sheba" by Edward Slocombe
The Painting "Queen of Sheba" by Edward C. Slocombe, 1907. Queen of Sheba or Saba, also known as Bilqis in Arabic or Makeda in Ge'ez, is a figure mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. According to the original story, she brings a caravan of valuable gifts to Solomon, king of Israel and Judah.
Stories about her exist extensively in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. She is one of the most famous legends in West Asia and Northeast Africa, including regions which have significant influences from Abrahamic religions. I personally know her from Islamic sources first because I was a Muslim.
The historicity of her is disputed among many historians and archaeologists because evidence of her existence has never been found except in religious sources themselves. However, because the Kingdom of Sheba or simply Saba did exist around 1000 BCE to around 275 CE, in Southern Arabia, mostly in modern-day Yemen, then she may have existed too.
If she ever existed, then blessed be she, for she was one of the wise figures who desired to know the knowledge and wisdom of Solomon.

Making OCs is so funny. "Yeah here's an ancient queen who killed her husband and sorta subsumed his identity a little bit and started wearing his armor and then went on a years-long campaign helping different territories regain sovereignty in their land. Yeah she's extremely important to the cultural aspect of the setting because she's now worshipped as a hero-king and even considered by some to be an aspect of the moon deity. Yeah there's a strange period of time after her kingship that's just shrouded in mystery and this is a large part of what the story is about. No I've never drawn her because I'm intimidated 💔"
