Next, who might this be? One of the Lempades? Persephone? Hekate? Or “female figure holding torches”?😅 the billowing sleeves and inclusion of two torches feels significant to me - or maybe they have been added on in a renaissance “restoration”🏛️

Snowy day for the Roman cavalry ☃️❄️🌨️
I reworked one of the figures from last year’s Northern Lights piece to create this scene of a cavalryman and his loyal steed walking in the snow ❄️ I liked it so much that I’m now posting it as its own illustration - the scene is just so tranquil 🌨️
