Sisters 1898

"Sisters" (1898) by Carl Wilhelmson depicts two women, likely sisters, seated together in an interior setting. The older woman's hand rests gently on a book held in her lap, while the younger woman sits with her hands clasped in her lap, her gaze turned towards the viewer. The intimate scene, painted with a naturalistic style, conveys a sense of quiet contemplation and familial closeness, characteristic of Wilhelmson's works that often depicted everyday life in Scandinavia. The painting is housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
