Two sisters 1893

"Two Sisters" is a realist painting by Vladimir Makovsky, a renowned Russian artist, completed in 1893. The painting depicts a scene of domesticity, possibly a family gathering, with a focus on the three figures in the foreground. The sisters are dressed in elegant attire, and the elder sister appears to be delivering a message to a seated elderly gentleman. The painting's warm, natural lighting creates a sense of intimacy and realism, characteristic of Makovsky's style. The scene evokes a sense of quiet contemplation, emphasizing the relationships between the figures. The painting's subject matter reflects the social and cultural context of late 19th-century Russia, and its realist approach resonated with the artistic sensibilities of the time.
