About the Item
Oil on Canvas. Roman school of the second half of the 17th century.
The scene recounts an episode in the love affair between the queen of Egypt and the Roman triumvir Antony: Cleopatra, in order to demonstrate her wealth and seduce the handsome general, sets up a lavish banquet, during which she chooses a priceless pearl and dissolves it in vinegar, then offering the drink, considered a powerful aphrodisiac, to Antony.
In the painting the queen is about to put the pearl in the cup: particular is the ribbon to which the pearl is attached, reminiscent of that in the painting of the same name by Carlo Maratta (1625 -1713).
Restored and re-tinted, the painting is presented in a late 19th-century wooden frame.
