Description
Tapisserie en laine et soie avec le thème des Amours de Marc-Antoine et Cleopâtre : La mort de Cleopâtre. ; Cléopâtre assise de face porte sa main dans le panier de fleurs et de fruits qu'une compagne agenouillée à ses côtés entre ses mains. Un serpent s'enroule sur son avant-bras, juste en arrière, au vu du visage de la reine, l'autre amie cache sa réaction dans un tissu de prix. Un grand drapé théatral forme le fond du décor où s'ouvre une fenêtre latérale. Rare scène totalement d'intérieur comme le "Tribut ".
