EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white pencil drawing by Wilhelm Hensel, titled "Mendelssohn's Sisters" takes us back to the 19th century in Germany. The subjects of this fine art piece are Fanny Mendelssohn (1805-1847) and Rebecca Mendelssohn (1811-1858), sisters of the renowned composer Felix Mendelssohn. The artist beautifully captures the essence of these two women, who were not only musically inclined but also played significant roles in their own right. Fanny, with her headdress adorned delicately on her head, exudes an air of elegance and grace. Her sister Rebecca stands beside her, wearing a wreath that adds a touch of ethereal beauty to her portrait. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost sense the strong bond between these sisters. Their shared heritage as members of the Jewish faith is subtly hinted at through symbols like Jacob Bartholdy's name and references to Judaism. Hensel's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate every stroke that brings life to their features - from Ludwig Dirichlet's expressive eyes to Gustav Peter Bartholdy's gentle smile. This drawing serves as a testament not only to the artistic talent within the Mendelssohn family but also as a window into German society during this era. "Mendelssohn's Sisters" is more than just a print; it encapsulates history, music, femininity, and familial love all in
