Zubaidah (illustrated by Ron Chan)

Zubaidah is the wife of Haroun al Raschid.

During Ramadan, when al Raschid was troubled by the possibility that the beauty of his kingdom would be forgotten, Zubaidah came to him offering to “sooth away the darkness in your soul between my thighs” as a way for him to forget his troubles. He declined.

Ron did a wonderful job with Zubaidah. I think his approach to this character is really interesting and it’s a really gorgeous portrait!!!
