About the piece
Painted in 1869, this exquisite double portrait captures Eva and Frances Johnston in a moment of quiet companionship. William-Adolphe Bouguereau demonstrates his legendary technical precision here, from the luminous skin tones and lifelike expressions to the intricate lace detailing and the rich, plush texture of the gilded upholstery.
