About the piece
Painted in 1821 while Jacques-Louis David was in exile in Brussels, this formal portrait captures the sisters Zénaïde and Charlotte Bonaparte. The composition showcases David's signature precision, from the delicate rendering of the sisters' tiaras and lace collars to the luxurious textures of velvet and silk against a rich red sofa decorated with Napoleonic bees.
