Long time since the last picture of her (and really don't expect that to change.)

She also finally has a name and more of a story! Rajeeyah al-Masri she's called, calling the Cairo of the 18th century her home. This specific picture is her on an expedition ship down south along the coast of west africa on behalf of one of the merchants of the town, tasked with mapping out the areas further inland to help and develop possible merchant routes. Another crew member is an as of yet unnamed African Wild Dog (and i'll totally blame :iconUtunu: for giving me big-ear fever or something) working as a botanical illustrator on the expedition.

While usually more fascinated with the exotic plant life of new locations (and more well versed with watercolours) Rajeeyah was able to convince him to get a portrait done of her. Not that it took too much convincing given that the journey would take a couple of days, lot's of time to fill!
