This compelling 1870 oil painting by Edgar Degas, titled *Sulking* (also known as *Pouting*), captures an intimate moment of strained silence and domestic conflict. The scene features a beautifully dressed woman leaning forward, gazing intensely at a man who is hunched over a cluttered desk, his face hidden in shadow, reflecting palpable psychological tension.
