Messenger Sisters is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

These artists made quiet oil paintings of settlers in new lands. One of them shows a wagon under a wide sky, another has a cabin beside a river. Their work belongs to the 1800s when pioneers spread across North America.

See the settlers’ faces and the way light falls on the grass in Landscape with settlers, then tap to look at the settlers’ wagon up close.
