A Frame Of One's Own

       
A Man, A Woman, A Pain|T|hing : Part 2
continued from yesterday... 

Having looked together at the pain|t|hing Pain 
(La Douleur by Émile Friant, 1898), the man says: 

"I'll show you another by him...
      

      
They leave for another room.

Another woman is already there, looking at a pain|t|hing of a woman in a blue dress in a field at evening running towards the aperture of the golden frame.

      
But this is not our story.     
 

As they arrive, Juliette notices the other woman... as the man indicates to her his woman in a frame. 


      
He says to Juliette, 

"The first time I saw it...
       

          
For a moment, they look at each other...
        

          
... then Juliette walks away.

The man leaves too. Looking back at his pain|t|hing, he runs his finger under the woman's frame.



They are gone. 
         
We remain a few moments more and wonder if the prison-keeper knows that the man in the gold frame to the right of the woman in the gold frame is her depictor and the author of Pain, Émile Friant?
