The Artist's Eldest Sister is a 1825 oil by Constantin Hansen, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
The painting features a young woman in a blue dress with a white ruffled collar and a matching bonnet. She is seated, holding a book in her left hand, and looking to her right. Her right arm rests on the windowsill beside her. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a modest, yet elegant style. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's features. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Constantin Hansen.
Carl Christian Constantin Hansen (Constantin Hansen) (3 November 1804 – 29 March 1880) was one of the painters associated with the Golden Age of Danish Painting.
