About the piece
Painted in 1853 by Jan Ksawery Kaniewski, this elegant oil portrait depicts sisters Karolina and Anna Strauss, dancers at Warsaw's Teatr Wielki. The sisters are posed in elaborate, contrasting costumes—one in a white hussar-style jacket and full skirt, the other in a vibrant red velvet ensemble—set against a theatrical stage-like atmosphere with draped curtains and classical columns.
