About the piece
Painted in 1826 by American master Rembrandt Peale, this double portrait depicts his daughters, Eleanor and Rosalba. The composition is notable for its warm, glowing palette of ochre and deep red, emphasizing the close bond between the sisters through their gentle physical connection. Rosalba, holding a palette and brush, signifies her own identity as an artist within the esteemed Peale family of painters.
