This painting shows Amphitrite, Greek goddess of the sea in Greek mythology, in a moment of peaceful contemplation with an attendant octopus (another great intelligence of the sea).

Amphitrite was married to Poseidon. She was one of the 50 Nereids, the sea nymph daughters of sea gods Nereus and Doris, granddaughter of the Titan god Oceanus. Amphitrite’s offspring included dolphins, seals and a merman.
