A friend’s daughter just turned one year old this early summer and (very nearly) shares my name, except she’s a Clara not Clare. Her father got his Ph.D in Medieval History this May as well so congratulations are in order for the whole family! I worked up this painting of Joan of Arc for them. (Now Dr.) Sam once told me that her story is one of the ones that began his fascination with history and I thought such a strong young woman would be a good one to look over little Clara. (Though the tragic conclusion to her story might be glossed over for a year or two anyway.)
