The Death of Cleopatra. Laterally reversed copy after Caspar Netscher in the Staatliche Kunsthalle in Karlsruhe 1813

"The Death of Cleopatra" is a 1813 oil painting by Danish artist Julie Lütken, who died at the young age of 28. The artwork is a later copy of a painting by Dutch artist Caspar Netscher in the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, Germany. Lütken's version depicts the final moments of the Egyptian queen as she is overcome by the bite of a venomous asp. The painting is known for its dramatic portrayal of Cleopatra's death, and her pained expression. Lütken's skill as a painter and her ability to capture the emotions of her subjects is evident in this work. The painting is now part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
