This is my colored-pencil portrait of Asenath, an ancient Egyptian woman mentioned in the biblical Book of Genesis who marries Joseph (of technicolor coat fame). It’s likely Asenath’s name is a Hebrew pronunciation of an indigenous Egyptian name meaning “she belongs to Neith”, referring to the Egyptian goddess of hunting and weaving.
I doodled this in my sketchbook after revisiting an old city-building game from my youth called Children of the Nile, which is like a 3D version of the earlier and better-known title Pharaoh. Suffice to say it put me back in the mood for ancient Egyptian stuff.
