This is an image of an engraving or print depicting a historical scene titled "La Mort de Cleopatre" (The Death of Cleopatra). The artwork captures Cleopatra, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, in a moment of death, dramatized and romanticized for the viewer.

The central figure is Cleopatra, who is portrayed reclining, lifeless, her body draped in a loose and flowing gown that reveals her chest. Her head is tilted back, her eyes closed, and her right arm hangs limply off the side of the couch or bed where she lies. Her left hand is placed on her heart. The setting suggests a regal or opulent interior, with heavy curtains, a column, a pedestal, and a large cushion.

In the foreground, there is a basket containing figs and, potentially indicative of the means of her death, a snake can be seen among the fruits—a reference to the story that Cleopatra allowed herself to be bitten by an asp (a venomous snake) as a means to commit suicide.

Additionally, the image contains text in French, dedicating the piece to a nobleman, and indicating the creators of the work, including the engraver and the painter after whose design the engraving was made. This suggests that the image was intended for a learned or aristocratic audience and forms part of the tradition of classical history being retold in artworks for educational or decorative purposes.
