Dating from circa 1490, it may portray Genoa Genoese noblewoman Simonetta Vespucci as Cleopatra with an asp around her neck . Yet how closely this resembles the living woman is uncertain, partly because if this is indeed a rendering of her form and spirit it is a posthumous portrait created about fourteen years after her death. Worth noting as well is the fact that Piero di Cosimo was only fourteen years old in the year of Ms. Vespucci s death.
