Cleopatra murind is a work by anonim italian, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
The painting depicts a woman reclining on a couch, her body exposed. She wears a pink cloth draped over her left arm and a green cloth around her waist. A snake is wrapped around her right arm. In the background, another woman stands beside her, looking down. The scene is set against a dark, shadowy backdrop. The woman on the couch appears to be in a state of distress or pain, with her eyes closed and her body contorted. The snake wrapped around her arm adds a sense of tension and danger to the scene. The woman standing beside her seems to be watching over her, but her expression is unclear. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a dramatic and intense atmosphere, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures.
