Created in 1875, this masterpiece captures the tragic demise of the legendary Egyptian queen, Cleopatra. Makart's attention to detail and his ability to evoke emotions through art is evident in this piece. The portrait depicts a naked woman lying on her chest, symbolizing vulnerability and rawness.
