Cleopatra’s Banquet — História e Análise

Quem poderia organizar o banquete mais luxuoso? Esta foi a aposta entre a rainha egípcia Cleópatra e o general romano Marco António. Cleópatra ganhou a aposta dissolvendo uma pérola em vinagre e depois bebendo a mistura. Nesta pintura, ela está apenas removendo seu brinco.

De Lairesse pintou esta história como uma cena de uma peça, com trajes antigos e arquitetura clássica.
