Ecoline ink & watercolours on Steinbach paper.
Cleopatra VII (69–30 BC) was queen of ancient Egypt, the last member of the Ptolemaic dynasty and thus the last Hellenistic ruler of Egypt. She is the best-known of the several Egyptian queens of the same name. Cleopatra's story has fascinated writers and artists throughout the centuries. This appeal stemmed largely from her legend as a great seductress who was able to seduce the two most powerful men of her time (Julius Caesar and Mark Antony). (Wikipedia)
