"Dead Cleopatra" is a painting attributed to Lambert Sustris, a Dutch painter active during the Renaissance period, who is known for his work in Italy, particularly in Venice. The painting depicts the historical figure of Cleopatra, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, in the moments after her presumed suicide. Cleopatra's death, traditionally believed to have been caused by the bite of an asp, has been a subject of artistic fascination for centuries, symbolizing the themes of love, tragedy, and the fall of great powers.

The artwork by Sustris captures the dramatic aftermath of Cleopatra's death, showcasing her lifeless body adorned in regal attire, with the asp often included as a symbol of her chosen means of suicide. The painting is notable for its detailed representation of textures and fabrics, as well as its sensitive portrayal of the fallen queen's final repose. The composition, use of color, and the emotional resonance of the subject matter are characteristic of Sustris's style, which was influenced by his time in Italy and his exposure to the Venetian school of painting.

While the exact date of "Dead Cleopatra" is uncertain, it is generally believed to have been created in the mid-16th century, a period when Sustris was known to be active. The painting is an example of the Northern Renaissance's interest in classical themes and historical subjects, filtered through the artistic innovations that emerged in Italy during the High Renaissance.

As with many works of art from this period, the provenance of "Dead Cleopatra" may not be fully documented, and the attribution to Lambert Sustris, while widely accepted, may be based on stylistic analysis rather than definitive historical records. The painting is significant in the oeuvre of Sustris for its exploration of a poignant historical narrative and its reflection of the cross-cultural artistic exchanges that were a hallmark of the Renaissance.
