A man with a green face and red beard stares out at us in the foreground; behind him a woman in a white dress with a dark belt, her face flushed red and her hair loose, stands beside a second man with lowered eyes, against a green wall smudged with red and blue. Munch first treated jealousy in the 1890s and painted it at least eleven times. This version, unsigned and dated to 1907 with a query, is thought to belong to the series he painted that year in Warnemünde, known as The Green Room for its green walls. It is in the Munch Museum, Oslo.
This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
Acid green, red and white make a tense, psychological picture for a study, office or hallway rather than a bedroom. Pair it with Van Gogh's The Night Café, another clash of red and green, at 24×18 in a black frame.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×18. Prints at 16×12, 24×18 in — 16×12 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 24×18 above a console or sideboard.
Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — black suits the deep tones of this period; dark wood warms it.
Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).
