The image depicts the moment when Cleopatra drops a pearl earring into the cup and Mark Antony freezes in silent surprise, feeling a mixture of bewilderment and admiration.
The painting is by Antonio Gionima, son of the painter Simone and of Francesca Maria Bandiera, born in Venice on 4 March 1697. His canvases, known in part thanks to a few photographs, immediately reveal, in their light and lively brushwork, the painter's original and innovative temperament.
