About this work

This print shows a woman’s head and shoulders with a soft, dreamy look. Her hair is styled in loose curls, and a snake coils around her arm, resting on her shoulder. The background is plain, keeping all focus on her face and the snake. The name below says this is called *Cleopatra*, but it’s not a painting—it’s a print made in 1812. The artist, Perry, drew it to look like a sculpture or ancient coin. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
