This painting, created in the 17th century, captures a pivotal moment in the story of Sophonisba, a Carthaginian noblewoman who played a significant role during the Second Punic War. The artwork is renowned for its dramatic representation of the moment Sophonisba is presented with a chalice of poison, a gift from her husband, King Masinissa, as a means to avoid being paraded as a captive in Rome.
Van Opstal's mastery is evident in the composition's emotional intensity, the intricate play of light and shadow, and the detailed rendering of the figures and their expressions. The painting not only showcases the artist's skill in capturing the human form and its emotional states but also reflects the Baroque era's fascination with themes of martyrdom, sacrifice, and the dramatic moments of historical and mythological narratives.

It remains a significant piece for study among historians and art enthusiasts alike, offering insights into the cultural and artistic contexts of the Baroque period.
