Brother and Sister

Amerikanische Malerei 1840–1848, c. 1845

The image depicts a man and a young girl in a full-body portrait. The man is seated on a white bench, while the girl stands beside him with her hand on his shoulder. Both have fair skin and brown hair. The man wears a black suit with a white shirt, a black tie, and a patterned vest. The girl wears a blue dress with white lace trim and a white petticoat. A straw hat and a book are near the man, and a small brown dog and a white bonnet with blue ribbons are on the grass. Lush green trees and a body of water are in the background.
