A peculiar interpretation of the image of the beautiful Egyptian queen is given in the painting “Cleopatra”, written by American artist Michael Parkes in 1986. The body of a young woman with a red veil is sexually attractive, feminine.
Hands that have been pinched up and outstretched hips express a desire, but instead of a passionate lover, an ugly animal in a frill, sitting next to Cleopatra, performs a love serenade for the queen.
