Berthe Morisot liked to focus more
on portraits and interior scenes. In
this painting, The Sisters, two young women who are dressed identically sit on
a sofa. They are almost exactly
alike. They are perhaps at home, and
this couch which they're sitting on is maybe in some small antechamber. They lower their gaze shyly and hold their
pose patiently, as if waiting for something.
Morisot liked to paint scenes which she herself saw in her own everyday
life. Quiet, domestic scenes like this painting
of The Sisters is typical of her work, since she sought to find the Modernist
vision of Realist subject matter within the smaller but probably better known
world of home life and private life.
