Persian Beauties

The Beautiful young man is Bagoas who is Alexander the Great’s male lover and the pretty girl is Statira Alexander the Great’s 2th wife

They are real people from history and I do not own them, I just draw them for fun.

“L'adorar beltà che piace”

L'incoronazione di Dario Antonio Vivaldi Gérard Lesne

Statira's aria: L'adorar beltà che piace, E celar del cor la Face, è il maggior d'ogni martir:

Chi non scopre il suo tormento, Nel suo duol vive contento E non merta di gioir. L'adorar ec.
