About the piece

Painted in 1674 by Jacob Ferdinand Voet, this Baroque portrait depicts Clelia Cesarini Colonna, Duchess of Sonnino, in the guise of Cleopatra. The work showcases masterful renderings of contrasting textures, from the luminous drop pearls and delicate lace to the heavy, shimmering blue drapery that defines her silhouette.
