DescriptionTwo nude, elderly women seated in an interior. The person on the right is embracing the person on the left, reaching across the front of her body to rest a hand on her right shoulder and with right leg slung over her left leg. Their heads are bound together with fabric into which eye holes have been cut. Below them is a reptile whose body extends most of the width of the page.On View
