The Marchioness – Illustrated Story

[Steve]

I also felt another illustration was necessary. This is an homage to the classic film House of Wax, which was very influential on me as a kid.

Here, the three judges deciding the Marchioness’s fate observe her as she is put to the rack and ultimately confesses to murder.

It was for me as well when I first saw it as a young teen.
Some of the best parts of Ms Phylis Kirk in peril. The shot of her clamped feet was a particularly exciting one.

Is there a whole shot of this situation? I assume her arms/wrists are restrained too?

Spot on, @wulf . Here are other images I have including the first time I saw a woman on the rack, @Crucified Life .

No there isn't. There were only shots of her head & shoulders, and clamped wrist and ankles. It was a mainstream movie from 1953, so we were lucky to get that much.

Before I post THE MARCHIONESS in sequence, here is another illustration, showing the extent of the Marchioness’ ordeal.

The nuns bathe the Marchioness to prepare her for her execution. While the novices wash the condemned, a watchful sister is ready with a flogger to make sure she remains obedient during the preparation.

This series is also a homage to Georges Pichard, who has been influential in my genre work. So I wanted to make sure I included nuns in the series, who are one of his favorite subject matters.

Even as English is only my second language, still I have to correct you on this otherwise great picture: it should be " in preparation FOR.....".
Keep on posting, I enjoy this thread.

Finally, here is THE MARCHIONESS in sequence. As with my other illustrated stories, some illustrations have been tweaked or updated. This is the definitive set for your personal collections.

Thank you all for taking this artistic and story-telling journey with me. Your likes and comments fueled me and I am extremely grateful. Until next time!

this is really beautifull art steve!!

If she is already being washed so elaborately by the nuns, a quick execution is far too early...she should continue to be tortured extensively in order to betray other accomplices, fellow sisters. Since she has already confessed to her crimes, she can be tortured again without consideration and with all severity through all levels of torture, especially in the secret places, where she is a woman...

Well said! Such a beautiful woman would not have had the magnanimity of a quick death if the choice were mine! Your work never disappoints, Steve. This one is another classic.

I agree.
