Cleopatra’s Banquet — Storia e analisi

Chi poteva organizzare il banchetto più sfarzoso? Questa era la scommessa tra la regina egiziana Cleopatra e il generale romano Marco Antonio. Cleopatra vinse la scommessa sciogliendo una perla nell'aceto e poi bevendo il composto. In questo dipinto, sta appena togliendo il suo orecchino.

De Lairesse ha dipinto questa storia come una scena di un'opera teatrale, con costumi antichi e architettura classica.
