La Soeur Aînée 

"La Soeur Aînée" is a painting by James Tissot, a British artist known for his depictions of Victorian life. The artwork features two young women sitting on a stone staircase. The older sister, dressed in a dark, patterned gown, rests her head on her hand and appears to be lost in thought. The younger sister, in a navy dress, leans against her sibling with her head bowed, suggesting a state of sadness or melancholy. The setting, with its lush greenery and brick facade, provides a backdrop for the intimate portrayal of a familial bond and the unspoken emotions that lie between sisters.
