How do you put a portrait of Cleopatra, one of history's most famous celebrities, on the cover of National Geographic? Her real face will forever be a mystery, but artist Sam Weber photographed a model who shares Cleopatra's Mediterranean heritage and created a cover image that brings one of history's most alluring figures to life.
I really liked this portrait because all of the other portraits were meant to be of themselves and had their full faces on them. However, in this portrait, it is of a model who wasn't trying to look like herself, but of Cleopatra and her full face was not on the portrait, only the bottom half.
