EDITORS COMMENTS
This print dates back to 1916 and showcases a pair of the era's most famous and enigmatic performers, Rosie and Jenny Dolly, also known as the Dolly Sisters. The sisters were a sensation in the world of jazz cabaret, their youthful exuberance and flair for the avant-garde making them icons of the Roaring Twenties. In this sketch, the Dolly Sisters are depicted in all their glory, their youthful faces framed by bobbed hair and adorned with heavy makeup. Rosie, on the left, wears a bold red lip and a daringly low-cut dress, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Jenny, on the right, dons a more demure expression and a more subdued outfit, but her eyes are just as expressive. The Art Deco style of the sketch perfectly captures the essence of the era, with its bold lines, geometric shapes, and rich colors. The sisters' outfits, too, reflect the latest fashion trends of the time, with their flowing dresses and intricate beadwork. The Dolly Sisters were known for their energetic performances and their ability to captivate audiences with their charisma and charm. They were a favorite among the jet set crowd of the time, performing for the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of jazz cabaret and the flappers of the Roaring Twenties. It is a reminder of a time when the rules were broken and the boundaries were pushed, and the Dolly Sisters were at the forefront of it all.
