My first de Winter fanart! I wanted to draw her in the same style I did for the Mouskos but more intellectual-oriented (like Aramis). I took a lot from Van Dyck's portrait of Lucy Hay (1637), the countess of Carlisle who might have inspired Dumas' Milady.

The hair is supposed to evoke a cortex, with an inking appendix to write her name and the secret letters she's holding (next adventure's Mac-Guffins?)

Her mantis-like right arm symbolizes her past as a nun and her "complicated" conjugal relationships, same for the mechanical spider legs (which also embody her craftiness at extending her influence). Although both animals don't cannibalize their male counterparts 100% of the time ( more like 1 time out of 3 but still!)

Far less ambiguous: the venomous snake-shaped glass carafe. There's something in this wine and it's not just grape!
