From the collection of Fitzwilliam Museum
Martha and Theresa Blount is a 1717 oil by Charles Jervas, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
The painting depicts two women in 18th-century attire, with the woman on the left wearing a red dress and the woman on the right wearing a white dress. The woman in red holds a blue cloth in her left hand and a plant in her right hand. The woman in white holds a small bird in her hands. The background of the painting is dark, with some greenery visible behind the women. The painting features a mix of warm and cool colors, with the red dress standing out against the darker background. The women's faces are serene, with gentle expressions. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Charles Jervas, who was known for his portraits of women in elegant attire.
Charles Jervas (also Jarvis and Jervis; c. 1675 – 2 November 1739) was an Irish painter, translator, and art collector of the early 18th century.
