About this work

This image shows a woman with golden curls and a calm face. Behind her, one side has green roses and leaves, while the other side shows a curtain with a pattern of tiny dots. The background includes a soft sky and faint mountains. The title *Jalousie* (Jealousy) hints at the contrast between the peaceful woman and the curtain’s hidden patterns—like secrets behind a veil.
