Alkuperä - Provenienssi
Carl Milles started working on the magnificent “Fountain of Faith” in the National Memorial Park in Virginia, just outside Washington, in 1939 but the fountain was not finished until 1952. Milles' original order and thought was that the fountain should consist of 17 sculptures in total, set in a large pool. But as the work started, creativity took over and in the end the fountain are a total of 38 figures. "Sisters" is one of these independent sculpture groups within the “Fountain of Faith”.
The current catalog number was purchased in the early 1990s by Count Adam Wilhelm Knuth in Denmark. The beautiful composition was placed on the so called "Sisters Island" in the popular Knuthenborg Park in Denmark, where it was set as a fountain sculpture with running water.
