EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas portrait, we are transported back to the year 1802 as we witness the intimate bond between Madame Riesener and her sister, Madame Longroy. Painted by Henri Francois Riesener, this masterpiece now resides in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Orleans, France. The two sisters sit elegantly side by side, their empire line dresses draping gracefully over the footstool beneath them. With a quill in hand and an intent expression on her face, Madame Riesener is engrossed in writing a letter while her sister looks on curiously. The room they occupy is adorned with luxurious details - from the intricate carpet underfoot to the paisley shawl draped across Madame Longroy's lap. Madame Riesener exudes sophistication with her perfectly styled curls cascading down her shoulders. Her attention to detail extends beyond her appearance; she carries a bag of personal belongings at her side along with delicately gloved hands. This painting captures not only a moment frozen in time but also offers us insight into these remarkable women's lives during that era. Their connection is palpable as they share this private space together. As viewers, we cannot help but feel drawn into their world - curious about what secrets lie within that letter or what thoughts pass through their minds. This enchanting portrait serves as a reminder of both the beauty found within art and our innate human curiosity for stories untold.
