Bluebeard's Wife

I drew this for that old fairy tale, Bluebeard and his Wives, and this is his last wife!

She found his secrets, the decaying corpses of his previous wives and she sent words to her brothers urgently!

But who will come first? She hears the thunders of horses' hooves at the distance. Is it doom or salvation?

I've always loved this story since I was a kid, since there was such suspense at the end when she was waiting for her brothers to come : D
