About the piece
Painted in 1895, this double portrait by André Brouillet depicts Jean and Jeanne, the children of Professor Joffroy. The artist masterfully contrasts the intricate, soft textures of the girl's lace collar with the crisp, graphic lines of the boy's sailor suit, while maintaining a luminous focus on their large, expressive eyes and quiet, youthful dignity.
