La Mort de Lucrèce is a 1650 unspecified by Guido Cagnacci, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
The painting depicts a woman in a white dress with a red shawl draped over her left shoulder. She holds a dagger in her right hand, with her left hand resting on her lap. The background is dark, with a black curtain behind her. The woman's expression is somber, and her gaze is directed downward. The dagger in her hand suggests a sense of tension or conflict. The dark background adds to the overall mood of the painting. This painting is a representation of the subject Lucretia.
