Description
The Death of Sophonisba, circa 1810. When a Roman general seized Sophonisba as war booty, her husband encouraged her to die with dignity rather than become a captive. She chose suicide by poison. As depicted in the painting, the toxin has just begun to take effect, and she uneasily maintains composure while penning a suicide note. Creator Alphonse Legros (French, 1837-1911).
