About the piece
Painted by Tilly Kettle in 1784, this double portrait depicts Eliza and Mary Davidson in a classical, outdoor setting. The work showcases the artist's skill in rendering delicate fabrics—the flowing white and pink gowns—and the gentle, sisterly bond between the subjects against a lush, atmospheric landscape typical of the British portrait tradition.
