Cléopâtre, la Reine fatale #4

Part of Delcourt's Les Reines de Sang series, this fourth volume of Cléopâtre, la Reine Fatale by Thierry Gloris and Joël Mouclier presents an intimate, richly appointed scene: a young man in Roman dress reclines beside a jewel-adorned Cléopâtre in a opulent chamber warmed by distant torchlight, ornate rugs and overturned vessels at their feet. The mood is at once sensuous and charged with quiet tension, perfectly capturing the collision of power and desire that defines this Egyptian queen's legend. A gorgeous entry in this French historical series, published by Delcourt in 2021.
