the original painting hangs at the National Museum of Mexican Art, Pilsen.
She's the Aztec princess Iztaccihuatl.
He's the warrior Popocteptl.
Here is a summary based on one version as recounted at a September 2006 "Myth, Mortals and Immortality: Works from the Museo Soumaya de México"
exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution:
Before leaving for war, Popocatépetl asked Iztaccíhuatl's father for permission to marry her. Shortly after, a rival of Popocatépetl falsely told
Iztaccíhuatl that her love been killed in battle. The princess died of grief from this news. Popocatépetl returned victorious but was shocked by the
princess's death. To honor her, he ordered a tomb to be built close to the sun. Ten hills were united to create a mountain. Popocatépetl laid the
princess's body at the mountaintop, and the whole mountain took on the form of a sleeping woman. As the warrior kneeled before his lost love, snow
covered them, and they both transformed into volcanoes
