Old drawing I did for my gf of us as a late Roman noblewoman and Sarmatian auxiliary. I think this would make a great cover for a very cheesy historical romance called "Love Under the Dragon Banner".

Funeral banner of Eustachy Kurcz

Eustachy Litwinowicz Kurcz (d. 1647) was castellan of Vitebsk from 1639 to 1647, in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (now Belarus). In Syanno, near Vitebsk, he and his wife Raina (Regina), née Wołłowicz, founded a Franciscan monastery and church in 1609. Similarly, with his third wife, Zuzanna, née Tyszkiewicz, he founded a Franciscan monastery and church in Grodno in 1635. The banner, made in 1648, is part of the collection of the Moscow Kremlin Museums (oil and gold on damask and velvet, 160 x 120 cm, inv. 3N-327). The Latin inscription on the reverse confirms the identity of the donor depicted on the obverse (DOM / PIISSIMIS MANIBVS ILLVSTRISSIMI DOMINI / EVSTACHII LITWINOWICZ KVRCZ CASTELLANI / WITEBSCESIS: […] ANNO M. DC XL. VIII).
