A collection "Drawings from Prison" were made between 1951 and 1959 in the prisons of the Penitentiary of Lisbon, where Álvaro Cunhal spent seven years in rigorous isolation, and from the Fort of Peniche, from where he escaped on January 3, 1960. They were first published by the "Avante!" Editions in December 1975 as part of fundraising initiatives for the Portuguese Communist Party.

The quiet strength and unity of two young women, likely sisters, standing close to one another. Their simple yet sturdy clothing suggests a rural or working-class background, with one arm loosely wrapped around the other in a gesture of comfort and connection. Their faces, soft yet resolute, are turned toward the viewer with calm expressions, reflecting the strength of their bond. The drawing uses delicate shading and soft lines, emphasizing their unspoken support and solidarity in a world of modest means.
