7" x 7"

Vintage paper and photos from the early 1900's

Title: Sisters, 1920s

This poignant mixed-media piece is a quiet study in historical portraiture and kinship. The central focus is a beautiful, sepia-toned photograph of two young women, whose clothing and hairstyle suggest the early 1920s. Their serene, direct gaze captures a timeless bond.

The simplicity of the collage enhances the emotional weight of the photograph. The images are carefully mounted on subtle layers of aged paper, with a delicate, handwritten note (the name "Jeanette") visible in the margin, offering a small, personal key to the subjects' identity. Minimal, restrained paint marks are used to frame the image, preventing distraction and allowing the beauty of the original photograph to dominate.

This work appeals to collectors who favor historical subtlety, portraiture, and art that suggests a personal, untold narrative.
