After her husband's affair with film star Maria Felix is when this painting came to be. The film star was also a personal friend of the painter. Frida pretended to not be affected by this affair, but the painting makes it obvious that it does. The hair wrapped around her neck means that she feels strangled by the situation.The look on her face shows the sorrow and pain. Her husbands face right in the middle of her forehead symbolizes that he is in fact the cause of her stress, and also her obsession.
