Description

This beautiful portrait by British artist William Drummond (act.1800-1860) depicts two sisters within an interior. It’s a charming glimpse into the lives of these young women.

Dressed in the latest fashions of the 1860s, with hair patiently styled into side coils, they hold a loving pose. The seated sister rests her right arm on a side table and holds a sketchbook on her lap. It appears to display a coastal scene in watercolour - perhaps she’s a keen artist. It’s tempting to wonder whether she added any embellishments to the colouring.

Framed and glazed.
