I removed ".." but no improvement. How to check if it is rooted at "/var/www"?
without knowing where your HTML file in relation to the pict folder it is hard to answer.
Commonly, the baseline of content is in /var/www/html root of the default web site.
/var/www is outside the web servers data such that placing pict here, and then an index.html in /var/www/html will never reach it
i.e. while you think ../pict from html will be valid, within the web server the index.html is at / and ../ still means /.
i.e. cd /
cd ../
pwd
meaning in the web server your /var/www/html is the root / your html page says ../pict is being translated /pict which is /var/www/html/pict within the file system. Based on your description, the pict folder under /var/www/html/ does not exist and thus the error 403/4 no such directory or file......

If you have access to the shell
1 - what is rtge address of your web page? in most situarions would be /var/www/ or (on recent systelms) /var/www/html/ )
2 - what are the access rights and owner of your jpg file? in most cases owners would be www-data:www-data and rwxr-xr-x (or 755)
