The painting is grand in both scale (249×346 cm) and imagery, and depicts the sumptuous feast where Cleopatra outclassed her lover Marc Antony in their wager of excess. Challenging each other to spend the most on a single banquet, Cleopatra became the winner by dissolving a precious pearl in vinegar and drinking it. Tiepolo shows an extravagantly-clothed blonde-haired Cleopatra seated opposite Lucius Plancus, keeper of the bet, dressed in a luxurious Eastern styled outfit trimmed with furs. Antony, in Roman military splendor, is seated with his back to the viewer, his profile turned to Cleopatra who holds aloft the pearl. The position of the various figures, together with the grid-patterned floor, draw the viewer’s eye to this pivotal point.
