From Wikipedia:
A contemporary article in The Homiletic Review called it an "impressive depiction of Christian faith and steadfastness" and described the two women to be in a "sisterly embrace". A modern interpretation by Kobena Mercer named the work as an example of an interracial lesbian couple, likening it to Les Amis by Jules Robert Auguste.
"Good friends"
lifelong friend who was so cherished, they spent all their time together lol
They're is some really amazing anatomical and lighting detail here. What a piece!
I like the details of the catholic symbols on the walls and the contrast of the dogs with obvious softness/gentleness of their love.
Are they also tied to the ring on the wall? I can see something on one of their wrists but no bindings on the other.
From Wikipedia:
It depicts two sleeping nude women, one shackled, apparently intended as Christian martyrs sentenced to death by beasts.
