About the artwork:
The painting likely portrays Glaucus, a noble Greek in Pompeii, and Nydia, a blind flower girl who is in love with him. Alma-Tadema's portrayal of these characters would typically be steeped in historical detail and rich in texture, capturing the opulence and atmosphere of ancient Pompeii.
