About the piece

Painted in 1787 by the Scottish master Alexander Nasmyth, this elegant double portrait depicts Eleanor and Margaret Ross. The sisters are dressed in the height of late-18th-century fashion, featuring voluminous white silk gowns and dramatic wide-brimmed hats, staged against an atmospheric backdrop of soft-focus woodland and rugged stone.
