Disclosure of an unknown portrait of the Hungarian conjoined twin sisters Helen and Judith (1701-23).
Recently an anonymous and unknown portrait of two renowned conjoined twins, the Hungarian sisters Helen & Judith (1701-23), was discovered. The portrait shows striking similarities with the representation of the twins in a popular work on cultural anthropology and medicine printed in Augsburg, Germany, in 1805.
