The Sisters

James McNeill Whistler, 1894/1895

The image depicts two women in a domestic interior setting. On the left, a woman is seated on the arm of a sofa or chair, leaning towards the other woman. She has defined features and styled hair, wearing a dark gown with puffed sleeves. The woman on the right is reclining back on the sofa or chair, with her head slightly tilted back, and also wears a similar gown with voluminous sleeves. The background shows minimal detail, including a round table with a teapot and cups on it.
