    This looks like something an artist would produce when there’s a shared assumption of a classic eduction founded on Greek thought and history. There seems to be an assumed cultural context I’m lacking when I see this.

    Perhaps it’s meant to be Odysseus’ wife? Maybe something from Greek or Roman history?

    Impossible for me to say, but without the title, I would assume a vaguely bored Greek noble out for a walk.
