"Cleopatra Decorating the Tomb of Mark Antony" is a notable work by Swiss neoclassical painter Angelica Kauffmann, created in the late 18th century. The painting is a poignant representation of the historical and tragic romance between Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, and Mark Antony, a Roman politician and general. Kauffmann's work is characterized by its classical composition, emotional depth, and the delicate rendering of its subjects, which was typical of the neoclassical style that sought to revive the ideals of ancient Greek and Roman art.

The painting depicts a scene of mourning and reverence, as Cleopatra, accompanied by her attendants, is shown adorning the tomb of her lover with a wreath of flowers, an act symbolizing both her devotion and the solemnity of the moment. The artwork captures the moment's pathos, highlighting Cleopatra's dignity and despair in the aftermath of Antony's demise. Kauffmann's choice of subject reflects the 18th-century fascination with classical antiquity and its historical figures, as well as the era's penchant for themes of love, sacrifice, and the sublime.

Angelica Kauffmann was one of the few prominent female artists of her time and a founding member of the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Her works often featured strong and virtuous women from history and mythology, and "Cleopatra Decorating the Tomb of Mark Antony" is a prime example of her engagement with these themes. The painting not only showcases her technical skill and emotional expressiveness but also contributes to the understanding of the role of women artists in the neoclassical movement.

The painting is significant for its art historical value, as well as for its reflection of the cultural and intellectual currents of the Enlightenment period. It remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Angelica Kauffmann and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of 18th-century European art.
