The artwork, titled “Sisters,” was masterfully created by the artist Frederic Leighton using oil on canvas. Belonging to the Academicism art movement, this genre painting measures 38.1 by 76.2 centimeters and is held in a private collection.
In the artwork, two young females, presumably sisters, are depicted in an intimate moment. The older sister, clad in a flowing, light-colored dress, lovingly gazes down at the younger sister, who appears to reach up towards her. The background hints at a lush garden with dense foliage, set between two classical columns. The tender connection between the sisters and the serene ambiance is emphasized through the soft light and natural tones. The painting exquisitely captures the gentle emotions and affectionate bond shared by the siblings, embodying the refined and idealized style characteristic of the Academicism movement.
