He was trying to convey a sense of loss in the portrait, which he was planning to enter in a contest at a government festival. In frequent visits to Ahmed's studio Zeinab came to understand his various feelings, the most important of which was his love for her. Ahmed's painting won a big prize at the government festival and he became famous. When he went back to Cairo, Yousria [Nelly] tried to see him because she wanted him to marry her, but even though she needed him desperately he could not stand her.
