About the piece
Created in 1902 by French artist Lucien Simon, this oil on canvas captures a poignant genre scene with dramatic chiaroscuro. Two sisters in religious habits are shown in conversation with an elderly woman, their faces and white wimples catching the light against a dark, moody background. Simon's sophisticated brushwork and use of deep tonal values create a sense of quiet intimacy and old-world gravitas.
