EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil painting titled "My Sister Is Not In" created by Alma-Tadema in 1879, we are transported to a scene of mystery and deception. The composition showcases two sisters, elegantly dressed in classical Grecian costumes, standing behind a sheer curtain. Their expressions are mischievous as they conspire to deceive an unseen visitor. The artist skillfully captures the tension and excitement in the room as the sisters hide their true intentions. The play of light on the delicate fabric adds depth and texture to the painting, enhancing its allure. Alma-Tadema's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the intricate folds of their garments to the subtle expressions on their faces. This pre-Raphaelite masterpiece invites us into a world where secrets abound and social conventions are challenged. It speaks volumes about human nature - our desire for adventure, romance, and perhaps even forbidden love. As we gaze at this print displayed at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA, we can't help but wonder who these sisters are deceiving with such grace and charm. Is it a suitor hoping for one sister's hand? Or perhaps an unwanted guest seeking refuge? Alma-Tadema's "My Sister Is Not In" is not just a beautiful work of art; it is also an invitation to unravel its hidden narrative and immerse ourselves in its timeless intrigue.
