Two Sisters 1899

"Two Sisters" is a painting by the French Academic artist William Bouguereau, completed in 1899. The work depicts two young girls standing in a verdant setting. The elder sister, clad in a white blouse and blue skirt, holds her younger sibling close with a gentle embrace. The younger sister, adorned in a blue dress, holds a bouquet of wildflowers. Bouguereau, a master of realism, meticulously renders the girls' soft features and delicate attire, capturing the tender bond of sisterhood. This painting exemplifies the artist's idealized portrayal of childhood innocence and the beauty of the natural world.
