''Cleopatra and the Peasant'' (1838) is an oil painting by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix. The artwork is notable for its dramatic representation of a historical scene involving Cleopatra, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. Delacroix, renowned for his expressive brushwork and use of color, captures a moment of intense psychological interaction between the ancient queen and a peasant.

The painting depicts Cleopatra, in a moment of desperation, after the death of her consort Mark Antony, testing the deadly effects of poison on a condemned prisoner. This subject matter reflects Delacroix's interest in exotic and historical themes, which he often infused with a sense of theatricality and emotional depth. The composition is characterized by a stark contrast between the opulent, yet troubled, Cleopatra and the resigned peasant, set against a backdrop that hints at the luxury and decline of a fading empire.

Measuring 129 cm by 180 cm, ''Cleopatra and the Peasant'' is housed in the Ackland Art Museum at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This work is an example of Delacroix's fascination with the East and his ability to convey narrative through vivid imagery. It stands as a testament to the artist's mastery of Romantic ideals, exploring themes of death, power, and the human condition. Delacroix's portrayal of Cleopatra is not just a historical recount but a complex psychological study of a ruler facing the collapse of her power and the consequences of her choices.
