Happy National Sisters Day! In this glowing image of two sisters, Rosalba Peale and Eleanor Peale, daughters of the artist, Rembrandt Peale highlighted their sisterly love by painting them delicately intertwined. He celebrated their connection by emphasizing not only their closeness but also their shared artistic vocation. Here, the sisters sit before a tapestry-covered table on which a palette and a volume of “Handel” rest. Rosalba holds a drawing tool in her hand signifying her artistic training (partially in Paris) and her status as her father’s loyal assistant.Posted by Eliza ButlerRembrandt Peale (American, 1778-1860).
