Isidore De Rudder (1855–1943), 'Cleopatra', pewter sculpture on marble base, signed: 'I. De Rudder', foundry mark H. Luppens & Cie Bronzes d'Art Bruxelles This finely crafted sculpture by Belgian artist Isidore De Rudder (Brussels, 1855 – 1943, Uccle) portrays Cleopatra, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, at the poignant moment of her legendary suicide. Captivated by antiquity and the emotional depth of historical figures, De Rudder offers a romantic, symbolic interpretation of the queen's final hours.
