The Seven Deadly Sins, Envy 

"The Seven Deadly Sins, Envy" is a striking illustration by the Art Deco master, Erte (Romanian, 1892-1990). This artwork, part of a series, utilizes a combination of bold colors, graphic lines and decorative elements to depict the sin of envy. The composition centers around a woman, adorned with jewels, gazing intently at her reflection in a heart-shaped mirror. The image is set against a dark background, contrasting the vibrant colors of the woman's attire and the ominous, lurking presence above. The artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the destructive power of envy and its ability to warp our perception of ourselves and others.
