Additional Information

This painting by John Singer Sargent is of Helena (Ena) and Elizabeth (Betty) Wertheimer, the eldest daughters of Asher Wertheimer, an art dealer. Wertheimer commissioned Sargent to make a series of portraits of his family, and they became friends. Sargent’s deft depiction of the differing textures and colours of the sisters’ dresses – red velvet and white silk damask – and the way he captures the exuberance of their characters makes it one of the painter’s most celebrated portraits.

American painter John Singer Sargent was considered the most fashionable portrait painter working in England and the USA in the late 19th century. During his early career in 1880s he was influenced by his friend Monet towards Impressionism, but by the 1890s had success with society portraits. After 1900 Sargent spent his summers on long sketching holidays and shocked social circles when he decided to give up portraiture in favour of landscapes. In 1918 he worked as a war artist and from 1890 until c. 1925 he painted murals for Boston Library and Museum.
