A number of pieces by Claude Debussy were adapted for Portrait Of Jennie, including First Arabesque, Second Arabesque, Clouds, Sirens, and The Girl With The Flaxen Hair. However, Jenny sings a song with the lyrics: "Where I come from, nobody knows/Where I am going, everything goes/The wind blows/The sea flows/Nobody knows. This is frequently played when she's present on screen. It is not by Debussy and was likely written by Dmitri Tiomkin, who arranged the score.
When the portrait is shown at the end, and frequently when Jenny appears, The Girls With The Flaxen Hair is played.
