  • oil on canvas

  • The subject is recorded by Pliny the Elder (23-79) in his ‘Natural History’ and relates to the story of Cleopatra (69-30 BC) who dissolved one of the “two largest pearls of all time” in a cup of vinegar, which she then drank to win a bet with the Roman General Mark Anthony (83-30 BC). The present scene depicts the dramatic moment when Lucius Plancus (the figure in the green cloak) pronounces Cleopatra the winner.
