Memories of their own youth

It is the Bubi-head of young Fridel Dethleffs-Edelmann. However, it can not be a 1956 self-portrait of the 57-year-olds. It has been sitting her a young woman model. Their look back has raised its own memory. As she sat on the floor before even casually in the studio and then had the life ahead of her.

The drawing breathes this silent melancholy the older artist. It makes no sense to be against age. But a pleasure for them it's not really.
