This painting shows two young girls sitting together. They are both wearing long dresses and have their hair styled in a similar way. The girl on the left is looking down, while the girl on the right is looking up and to the side. The background of the painting is dark, which helps the girls stand out. The artist used a technique called chiaroscuro to create this effect. The painting is held at the National Museum of Ancient Art. If you want to learn more about the artist who created this piece, look up Jean Honoré Fragonard.
