1840
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Charlotte and Julia Biggs is a 1840 watercolor by George Richmond, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows two women sitting side by side. The one on the left holds a piece of paper, while the one on the right rests her hand on a book. Both wear simple dresses—light blue with white trim for the left, soft pink with a dark belt for the right. Their hair is styled neatly, and the background is faint, with a hint of a curtain or fabric on the left. The painting feels loose and quick, like a sketch rather than a polished work. The artist used watercolor, letting the colors blend softly without sharp lines. If you like this style, look up Romanticism.
George Richmond (28 March 1809 – 19 March 1896) was an English painter and portraitist.
