Level 3, NGV Australia - About this work
-
Loving, reciprocal relationships between humans and dogs can similarily be formed between other animals, as shown in this work. Jealous evokes the emotional bond between mother and child, as well as the sadness of being left out of this tender moment. Not only is the emotion captured by the title of the work, it is also demonstrated by the longing look of the half-hidden pup in the background.
