That’s a title and a half, but that is her name, she ruled Russia in the tenth century. My friend in the SCA asked me to paint her onto a wooden box, I spent about four hours on it in total and I am very happy with the result. It’s done in acrylics with gold leaf. Just needs varnishing and I can give it to her tomorrow.
This is the original painting that I copied
I am blown away. Your skills are SUPERB. I don’t think I could love this more than I do.
WWWWOWWWWWWW!!! 
Aw thanks my lovely
Woo, that’s fab! Very recognizable but you’ve somehow given a little more life to her face & expression. Beautifully done!
That’s really beautiful!
Astonishing! So beautiful.
I put tiny tiny highlights in her eyes, which aren’t on the original, her eyes looked too flat without. And I gave her the closest thing to a smile, without being a smile-icons don’t smile!
Really beautiful! Such amazing detail in that little piece, including all the high and low lights.
Gorgeous, GORGEOUS work!
This is so beautifully done!
Wow! This is gorgeous!
