Notes

Accompanied by a label with a description by the artist.

The woman who is alone in the house is imagining her husband to be asleep. In his deep slumber, he expresses his love for the wife's younger sister who is perhaps more beautiful. The woman gets shocked, but the cow who knows what is going on in the woman's mind, appears to assure her that all dreams are not true. The cow assures the woman that her husband still loves her and that he will continue to take care of her and the household.
Better trust your partner than the ideas you dream about him.

Provenance
