About the piece
Painted circa 1915 by Edward Henry Potthast, 'Brother and Sister' is a masterclass in American Impressionism. The work captures a fleeting moment of childhood at the shore, rendered with a soft, airy palette of lavender, cream, and sea glass blue. Potthast's signature loose brushwork and focus on natural light create a sense of timeless summer nostalgia.
