Most pictures of classicism are dedicated to Roman and Greek antiquity. The "Egyptian Widow" is remarkable for the ancient culture that places the painting in the center. Truly exceptional is the incredible attention to detail, because Tadema not only depicts the scene of the widow mourning on her husband's mummified corpse, but also uses the walls, pillars and sarcophagus itself to incorporate the death court of Egyptian mythology. It also incorporates an allegory of the myth of Osiris, according to which, with Anubis' help, Isis could bring the body of her husband Osiris to the primeval mound, where Anubis mummified his father, gave him eternal life and thus made him master of the realm of the dead.
