Description
al-Khansā, ( Arabic: “The Snub-Nosed”) (died after 630), one of the greatest Arab poets, famous for her elegies.
The deaths of two of her kinsmen—her brother Muʿāwiyah and her half-brother Ṣakhr, both of whom had been tribal heads and had been killed in tribal raids sometime before the advent of Islam—threw al-Khansāʾ into deep mourning. Her elegies on these deaths and that of her father made her the most celebrated poet of her time. Encyclopedia Britannica.
Another anecdote says that al-Nabigha told al-Khansa "If Abu Basir[2] had not already recited to me, I would have said that you are the greatest poet of the Arabs. Go, for you are the greatest poet among those with breasts." Al-Khansa replied, "I'm the greatest poet among those with testicles, too."

I really like how you captured the eyes. They are so alive. Not just in this sketch, but your others, too.

I love your choices in subjects and the tenderness and inspiration you use to create their images. You tend to capture the gentleness of their soul and the character it took to make their mark in life. Since you worked from an image, you had to breath life and emotion in the image... and you were successful. Outstanding and inspiring.
