The Bandini sisters 1890

Silvestro Lega's "The Bandini Sisters" depicts four young women in a casual setting, possibly a garden or courtyard. The scene is characterized by loose brushstrokes and a sense of realism, capturing the everyday activities of these women as they read, chat, and engage in needlework. This intimate portrayal of modern life reflects the artistic trends of the late 19th century, showcasing Lega's mastery in capturing the nuances of daily life. The painting currently resides in the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto (MART) in Rovereto, Italy.
