作品描述
The Death of Cleopatra depicts the moment of Cleopatra's suicide as she lies on a bed, surrounded by Egyptian symbols and a mourning figure. The painting captures the tragic end of the Egyptian queen, who chose to die by the bite of an asp rather than be captured by the Romans. Created in 1874 by French artist Jean-André Rixens, it was exhibited at the 1874 Salon and is currently housed in the Musée des Augustins in Toulouse, France.
