I can only hope that the women that have looked at this portrait of me are inspired to pursue their goals and dreams, no matter how foolish they may seem to be by society. I have been fortunate enough to be allowed to break away from my expected norms and go after the arts. I hear that I am the “first known woman artists to achieve international fame,” (Clara, 2012) which means that my efforts and my talents have not gone in vain. It is my humble wish that decades from now, women can look at this painting and see that their efforts to be more equal to men are worth and so important.

After visiting the Wichita Art Museum, I was engrossed by the canvas Ring around the chimney by Lawrence Beall smith (American, 1909-1995) and the other canvas Butter Lane by David sale (American, 1952). The first piece of art that caught my attention was the Ring around the Chimney, because it was on the side of the entrance that stood out because of its form of subtractive color mixtures that made the canvas seems cloudy and gloomy feeling. The lines in the canvas also caught my attention because it gave it a mass in Two-Dimensions that made the canvas look like there was not enough space because of the two women, the filthy mattress, the cloudy skies, the chimney and the wood fence. The women in a pink dress also gave the canvas an illusion

While returning to the Museum of Fine Arts, in Boston, I stumbled on a painting that was in our book Gardner’s Art through the Ages by Fred S. Kleiner on page 705. The composition intrigued me a hundred times more in real life than it did in my book. I wanted to know the story, who are the girls, where are they and why is there no certainty in the painting? Are the girls in an insane asylum, a museum, a house? The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit, captivated me, it is like no other piece of art that I have even written about, I wanted to challenge my artistic ability and try something different. Throughout this paper I will be analyzing the story, the girls and the overall meaning of why this painting exists.

Located in our local museum of Fine Arts here in Houston, Texas the painting “The Elder Sister” done by the famous painter William Adolphe Bouguereau in 1869 is known at the museum for being an anonymous gift given to the museum in the year 1992. When one take a trip to the museum to view this painting one gets this feeling of adoration. The painting between the two siblings gives out a caring and calm perspective. A reason one can get this feeling of the painting created by Bouguereau is because it shows on how the elder sister has the passion of caring for her younger sibling. Her small smile painted on her face and her hold to her younger sibling shows the love she has. Including the look in her eyes that has a straight glance to the art viewers shows the care and loving emotion. Including as if her eyesight was showing one the same love and carefulness affection she shows the younger child in her arms known as her sibling.

This painting shows disconnect and isolation of the sisters in their position, and their clothing. The youngest child is given the most prominent spot in the painting and is the most included in the composition by sitting on the carpet in the foreground. Directly behind the youngest girl are the two eldest in the background. In a much more shadowy location, the girls seemed to be more united than the others, in their dress, their overlapping positions and their evidently much smaller age gap. The middle sister, in both age and composition, is the most disengaged from her sisters.
