The Brown Sisters, Cambridge, Massachusetts 1986

"The Brown Sisters, Cambridge, Massachusetts" is a black and white photograph taken in 1986 by Nicholas Nixon. The photograph features four women, presumably the Brown sisters, standing shoulder to shoulder. Nixon is known for his "The Brown Sisters" series, a collection of annual portraits of his wife and her three sisters. The series has been lauded for its honest depiction of aging and the passage of time. This particular portrait, with its intimate framing and quiet expressions, is characteristic of Nixon's work.
