My Sister Lydia is a 1894 oil by Edmund Charles Tarbell, a American Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This portrait features a woman in a white dress with blue accents, her hands resting on her hips. A white hat adorns her head, and she stands against a dark background. The woman's attire and the overall atmosphere of the painting evoke a sense of elegance and refinement. The dark background serves to accentuate the subject's features and clothing. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting adds depth and dimension to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's face and hands.
