A charming mid-19th-century pastel portrait of two siblings, elegantly dressed in fine lace garments and holding a delicate posy of wildflowers. The work has a wonderfully spontaneous, sketch-like quality, with softly handled pastel creating an appealing sense of immediacy and intimacy.
Despite the loose and expressive treatment, particular attention has been given to the children's facial features and individual character, bringing a sense of personality to the portrait. The delicate clothing and informal arrangement further enhance its period charm. Well presented in a traditional gilt frame. Unsigned. On paper.
