Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, Cleopatra, pastel, 1782. First exhibited at the Salon de Correspondance in 1782, and at the Paris Salon in 1783 (where it dimensions were listed in the catalogue as 2'3" x 1'11").In 1902, it was owned by Jules Féral. Location of the painting is now unknown. This reproduction comes from Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (1749-1803) by Roger Portalis, 1902, p. 16, with the comment, "Her beautiful study of Cleopatra, superbly drawn in the classic attitude, eyes raised to the sky and holding the asp that will prick her breast...is academic perhaps, but expressive, and the pastel of great harmony."
