Thomas Francis Dicksee (British, 1819-1895) Cleopatra signed with monogram and indistinctly dated '1863' (lower right); indistinctly inscribed 'Cleopatra' (on an old label attached to the upper stretcher); signed and inscribed 'Thos Francis Dicksee/7 Russell Place/Fitzroy Square' (on an old label attached to the lower stretcher) oil on paper laid down on canvas 19.5 x 16.3cm (7 11/16 x 6 7/16in). Fußnoten Thomas Francis Dicksee painted another portrayal of Cleopatra in 1876; differing from the present lot, she is depicted full length, seated on a chair. Together these works exemplify Dicksee's interest in Classical and Shakespearean characters, an interest further displayed by a number of his Royal Academy submissions, with works such as Ophelia in 1859 and 1891, Kate and Bianca in 1869, Lady MacBeth in 1870 and Romeo and Juliet in 1871.
