Sisters in Red

Amerikanische Malerei 1840–1848, hacia 1840/1850

The image shows two children, a girl and a boy, depicted from head to toe. The girl is standing to the right, slightly turned towards the boy. She has dark hair tied back with a pink ribbon, and her facial features are serious with a fair complexion. The boy also has a fair complexion and short light-colored hair. They are both wearing matching red dresses with white lace collars and cuffs, and white pantalettes underneath. The boy holds a yellow ceramic jug decorated with a floral pattern, while the girl holds an open book in her hands. Around the girl's neck hangs a long chain with a circular pendant. The background features a dark, wooded area with bare trees, and in the distance, there is the silhouette of a house with smoke coming from the chimney, set against a pink and blue sky.
