About the Item

Bernard Sanders (1906-1967) was a master at suggesting layers of meaning. Here, at first glance, this is study of sisters, posed to show subtle differences in height and profile. But on closer inspection things get more serious. They are so still, anchored to their spots. Could this be part of Sanders' medical studies? Are these girls compromised in some way that's not immediately apparent. Something seems 'off' with them. This is a drypoint. It is signed in pencil.
