Brown Sisters
1978

Four women closely grouped together, likely family members, pose for a black and white portrait. They have similar facial features, suggesting a strong genetic resemblance, and are dressed in simple, casual tops. The two women on the left wear tank tops, the third woman wears a white sleeveless top, and the fourth woman is in a striped t-shirt. They all have a serious expression and gaze directly at the camera, with a plain, light background behind them.
