Nude Woman with a Snake (drawing (visual work); Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (Dutch, 1606 - 1669) (Dutch Art...; about 1637; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 81.GB.27)

Note: The snake, the headdress, and her bared breast suggest that Rembrandt meant to depict Cleopatra, although recent scholars have suggested that the figure has certain aspects of Eve. In fact, Rembrandt used this drawing as the basis for his depiction of Eve in his drawing and subsequent etching Adam and Eve of 1638.
