The Two Sisters, 1770
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait that transports us back to the vibrant world of 18th-century France. Created by Jean Claude Richard Saint-Non, this exquisite artwork showcases his mastery in capturing both the innocence and playfulness of childhood. In this pastel on paper masterpiece, two young girls are depicted with utmost tenderness and attention to detail. The sisters stand side by side, their gazes fixed upon something beyond the frame. One girl holds a delicate toy horse in her hand while the other cradles a doll close to her chest. Their dresses adorned with frills and bows reflect the fashion of their time. The artist's use of color adds depth and richness to the composition, enhancing our connection with these endearing characters. The soft hues evoke a sense of warmth and tranquility as if we have stumbled upon an intimate family moment amidst the French countryside. As we admire "The Two Sisters" we cannot help but be reminded of Fragonard's influence on Saint-Non's work. The playful elements reminiscent of commedia dell'arte theater add an air of whimsy to this enchanting scene. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It serves as a window into an era long gone yet forever preserved through art - reminding us that even centuries later, beauty continues to transcend time.
