Cleopatra (Leonardo Grazia) is a 1535 unspecified by Leonardo da Pistoia, a Mannerism work, held at Galleria Borghese.
The painting depicts a woman with a snake wrapped around her body. She is topless, with her right hand covering her chest and her left arm bent at the elbow, with the snake coiled around it. The woman has dark hair and is looking to her left. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the woman and the snake. The woman's expression is calm, and the snake appears to be harmless. The painting's use of dark colors and shadows creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Leonardo da Pistoia.
Leonardo da Pistoia (1502–1548) was an artist, born in Pistoia.
