About the piece

Painted around 1830 by the celebrated American artist Thomas Sully, this charming oil portrait depicts the Leland sisters. Sully’s masterful technique is evident in the soft, glowing skin tones and the expressive rendering of the children's features, all set against a rich, saturated red that gives the piece a bold and timeless presence.
