EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a late 19th-century oil on canvas painting of Cleopatra, created by the French School. The artwork measures 68.5x101.5 cm and is held in a private collection. In this mesmerizing portrayal, we witness the defeat and tragedy that surrounds this iconic female figure from ancient Egypt. Cleopatra's regal presence is evident as she reclines with royal dignity, draped in exquisite fabrics while surrounded by serpents symbolizing her Egyptian heritage. However, her limp posture and swooning expression reveal the poison coursing through her veins, leading to her untimely demise. The artist masterfully captures Cleopatra's prideful yet tragic nature as she succumbs to suicide by an asp bite. Her bare breasts add vulnerability to the scene while emphasizing her role as a powerful ruler who ultimately met a devastating end. This painting not only portrays Cleopatra's physical beauty but also delves into the depths of her emotions during these final moments of life. It serves as a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of power and how even great monarchs can be brought down by their own choices. Through its skillful execution and attention to detail, this artwork immortalizes Cleopatra's story within the annals of history, forever capturing both fascination and sorrow surrounding one of ancient Egypt's most enigmatic queens.
