caption: The image shows a painting of a group of people in a room, with a dark background. In the center of the painting, we can see a woman, believed to be Cleopatra, standing in the center, surrounded by her consorts. She is wearing a long, flowing dress and a crown of thorns, and is holding a staff in her right hand. Her left hand is raised in a gesture of blessing, and her face is illuminated by a warm, golden light. The other people in the painting are looking up at her with admiration and awe.
