My Jealousy is a 1889 watercolor by Margaret Isabel Dicksee, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Two women in long, light-colored dresses stand side by side, facing a framed portrait on the wall. The woman on the right holds a dark shawl draped over her arm. The room looks old, with carved woodwork around the mirror and a dark, ornate frame. The colors are soft and muted, with brushstrokes that feel loose and quick. The portrait in the mirror shows a woman with a serious expression, adding a quiet tension to the scene. The artist focused on everyday moments and natural light, which was unusual for the time. Look up Impressionism next to see how this style changed how artists painted light and movement.
Two young girls stand side by side, their gazes directed toward a painted portrait of a young woman hanging on the wall before them.
