May one see it?

Unknown: the museum keeps its counsel

Amsterdam, Netherlands

The owner is known. Whether it is on view today, the museum does not say, and we were not trained to guess.

About the work

In the museum's own words — in Dutch

Cleopatra pleegt zelfmoord en houdt de slang aan haar ontblote borst. Op de voorgrond zit een geketende aap die aan een bloem ruikt. Midden onder een motto in het Latijn dat verwijst naar Cleopatra's immorele daad. In de marge een tweeregelig onderschrift in het Latijn.
