A paid commission for a friend. This portrays two slaves in a Roman household goofin' around and having fun. Yes, it's another RPG related image. They're great fun and they provide an endless source of creative resource for such things!
They look like they're having a lot of fun-- I love the eye-contact. It's almost like a dueling banjo type thing--- musician versus dancer. "Can you keep up with my tune?" "Watch me."
The life of a domestic slave was actually pretty good, all things considered. Well fed, life of luxury... just have to do a specific chore... When otherwise they'd have been beggers.
Different from a field slave. Or a slave at a mine. Hard nasty short life, that.
In this case, Facio (the guy) and Umbra (the woman) are owned by a happy, wealthy Equestrian who loves his slaves dearly. They're his family. So yeah, they're happy people.
