Description

Finally done!

A brief history on this subject: Elizabeth Bathory was a noble from one of the Eastern European countries during the 16th Century. During her youthful years, she was easily one of the most beautiful women to behold, with creamy complexion and long raven hair. Unfortunately, Bathory clung to youth, and given her odd taste for the sinister arts, Bathory thought that bathing, and then eventually, drinking blood of young beautiful virgins, would keep her beautiful.
In the end, Elizabeth Bathory slaughtered 600 girls and never repented. She died 2-3 years after her sentence of being walled into her bed chambers of her stronghold.

She is said to be one of the main influences for Bram Stoker's Dracula.

There is so much to like here.  The kicker for me was her pinkie on the hand holding the cup.  That brought a smile to my face.  The well-bred never lose their affectations, it seems.
