｢Sisters｣
Shinya Nakamura (1926-)
The elder sister gently looks back at her younger sister who dependently stands close to her. The two nude women exactly alike in the physical characteristics bring up an intimate and warm impression. Shinya Nakamura is good at such classic women statues as this. He finishes this piece to express the close mental connection between them very vividly.
