the image is a painting depicting two figures seated on a marble bench in front of a tomb. a woman with red hair is sitting upright on the left side, wearing a long beige dress and resting her head on her hand in a contemplative pose. she is surrounded by a garland of pink flowers. to her right, a man reclines on the bench, covered in a grey cloak with a hood. he is also resting his head on his hand, seemingly engaged in conversation with the woman. the tomb behind them is adorned with a basrelief carving of figures in classical style. the inscription "λυσανδρος" and "πρωταρχος" is written in greek. in the foreground, a pool of water reflects the scene, and scattered rose petals float on the surface. the ocean and sky are visible in the background, creating a serene outdoor setting. the style of the painting is reminiscent of the preraphaelite or aesthetic movement, and it evokes a sense of classical antiquity and melancholy. the artist is john william waterhouse.
