What is cleopatra real painting?

One of the most famous paintings of Cleopatra is the "Cleopatra" by English painter John William Waterhouse. This 1888 painting depicts Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. In the painting, Cleopatra is shown wearing an ornate golden gown and headdress, seated on a throne with a snake coiled around her arm, a symbol of her supposed death by suicide using an asp.

The painting is highly romanticized and draws on the traditional depictions of Cleopatra as a beautiful and seductive queen. Waterhouse was known for his Pre-Raphaelite style, characterized by rich colors, intricate details, and a focus on capturing emotion and sensuality in his subjects.

The painting is currently housed at the private collection of the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C. and is considered one of the most iconic portrayals of Cleopatra in art history.
