Royal Bath by Develv on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

I started this work back in 2020, drawing slowly, returning from time to time. Finished art in 2024.

Just enjoy: beautiful palace eunuchs in a Persian palace. Ancient time. Not all eunuchs looked like this, but these were the most beautiful, talented and intelligent ones chosen to serve the king. They became favorites of king or kings closed ones, and some became shadow rulers.

They could be of different nationalities, since the Persian Empire was huge. From the Scythians to the Arabs, from the Turks to the Greeks. Also, in ancient Persia, eununchs were respected.

It’s not that this is a historical reconstruction! I don’t like to draw historical reconstructions, since we don’t know how everything really happened, and in order to avoid false interpretations, I will say that these are my original characters.
