Limited edition finely made grouping of a seated Cleopatra looking in the mirror doing makeup with a black moor by her side. Throughout time there have been women whose impenetrable qualities have brought them awesome power and unrivalled superiority. The beguiling women of the Les Femmes Fatales collection were each made in a limited edition of 750. Cleopatra HN2868 was a famous Egyptian queen and the last Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. In one well-known story, Cleopatra, who had been exiled by her younger brother Ptolemy, appeared at the Egyptian palace rolled inside of a Persian rug that had been presented to Julius Caesar. When Cleopatra tumbled out, he was so charmed by her that he took her as his mistress and restored her to the throne as Pharaoh. After Caesar's assassination, Cleopatra took up with Mark Antony, solidifying her place on the throne and strengthening ties between Egypt and Rome. Her legacy survives in numerous works of art and the many dramatizations of her story in Les Femmes Fatales . Royal Doulton backstamp.
