About the piece

This 1801 masterpiece by Sir Thomas Lawrence captures the refined elegance of sisters Charlotte and Sarah Carteret-Hardy. Lawrence’s virtuoso brushwork is evident in the shimmering white silk gown and the rich texture of the dark velvet dress, while the soft, atmospheric background and the subjects' gentle expressions epitomize the grace of the English portrait tradition.
