Details, version II : The Dying Gladiator, 1799, by Pierre Julien. (Which is a statue, if you didn’t notice, and that would be easy to understand why.)
Hannibal’s feelings for Abigail are very genuine, and it harkens
back to the backstory in Hannibal Rising where he had a sister which he
lost at a very early age, so he is very sympathetic to Abigail and may
see a little bit of his sister in her. - Bryan Fuller
