Cleopatra is an oil by Unknown, depicting Mary Magdalene, held at Nationalmuseum.
This painting is a portrait of a woman with red hair, looking upwards. She is wearing a white dress with a blue and brown shawl over her left shoulder. Her hands are clasped together in front of her chest, and she appears to be holding a small object. The woman's face is illuminated by a light source from above, casting a shadow on the right side of her face. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the light on the woman's face. The painting is an example of the chiaroscuro technique, which uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth.
