Julia Appearing to Pompey in a Dream

A pale, sleeping man lies across the lower left of a dark ground, while a female apparition in billowing drapery streams diagonally toward the upper right. Radiating light rays cut through the shadows, and the soft tonal modelling gives the scene an eerie, dreamlike atmosphere.

Español: Julia se aparece a Pompeyo en un sueño

Un hombre dormido, de tono pálido, yace en la parte inferior izquierda de un fondo oscuro, mientras una aparición femenina con ropajes ondulantes avanza en diagonal hacia la esquina superior derecha. Rayos de luz atraviesan las sombras, y el modelado tonal suave crea una atmósfera inquietante y onírica.
