About The little sisters

The artwork titled “The Little Sisters,” crafted by Currier and Ives in the year 1862, embodies the Romanticism art movement. This piece, rendered as a portrait, captures the tender and sentimental essence typical of the period.

The artwork illustrates three young girls, presumably siblings, grouped closely together to underscore their familial bond. Their faces are marked by a gentle innocence, each showcasing a serene, almost dreamy visage. The girls, adorned in delicately frilled dresses, exude an air of grace and modest refinement. The central sister, slightly taller, stands protectively behind the younger ones, her arms affectionately encircling them. Such compositions accentuate the intimacy and emotional depth between the figures, which is a hallmark of Romanticism. The use of soft shading and meticulous detailing in the curls of their hair and the fabric of their attire highlights the technical proficiency of the artists, Currier and Ives.
