Pierre Bonnard, Portrait of the Bernheim Brothers, 1920 Oil on canvas
Here are Bonnard's dealer/'friends.' They are twins but Ciwt was interested that one twin is painted prominently with detail about his looks whereas his brother in the rear looks a bit like a diminutive wooden dummy.

Then she saw another of Bonnard's paintings of the brothers - actually commissioned by them for the home they shared. Look what has happened to that 'dummy' brother in this one! Ciwt can't help but wonder what Bonnard was up to; whether he had some unspoken problems with this brother. Bonnard was always the psychologist often interested in estranged intimacy and the secrets and hidden things that surrounds it.
