"Seth and Josh" by Peter Opheim

This is "Seth and Josh", an oil painting on canvas.

Many viewers will guess their relationship at first glance, but there is no need to be bound by the title of the work.

Therefore, they may be friends or companions, or is he/she just holding a doll, or is the grandchild trying to hold the grandmother, who lives in the spirit, into his/her arms?

The viewers will eventually find their own answers. At least, their relationship should be intimate, as the yellow stripes may reveal something in common.
