Masquerading Woman # 7 (illustrated by Anna Hybsier)

On the night of Alain’s masked ball, a flotilla of boats arrived in the bay and dispatched several masquerading women.

The identity of these women is unknown. Some of the citizens of Alain’s court suspected they might be noblewomen, while others whispered that they were courtesans. A third speculation is that they were nuns from the convent of San Michele Di Murano who arrived in defiance of their vows.

This woman is one of the masquerading women who arrived for Alain’s masked ball.

She appears in Endless Nights, in “Death In Venice” on page 12, in panel 7. >P> Anna did a lovely job with this portrait. The vibrant colors she used adds to the festive atmosphere of the character and the party. The purples and blues really complement each other. I really like the use of feathers in the background.
