Dreamy 1948 Glossy Snapshot Portrait of Two Young Women on Beach critical eye surely pulled at some point

surely pulled at some point from a sketchbook

and of course the sense of a long history of marks that have been made across the surface of each slate

again which looks darker in photos than in reality

while also I'd guess

in this nice antique wooden frame that suits it well

Dreamy 1948 Glossy Snapshot Portrait of Two Young Women on Beach critical eye surely pulled at some pointSo wonderfully dreamy, with the glowing face of the young woman at left in sharpest focus but everything else pretty soft around the edges. Full of life and warmth and also totally ethereal, as if these two were on their way to fading into the surf. Completely lovely. 4 1 2" x 2 3 4" and in good condition, glossy.
