Daughters of Sir Thomas Frankland Bart (The Sisters) is a 1797 ink by William Ward, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows two women sitting together, looking in different directions. They are dressed in long, flowing gowns and have their hair styled in loose curls. One woman is holding a book, while the other has her arm around her sister's shoulder. A small dog is lying on the ground beside them. The background is a serene landscape with trees, hills, and a cloudy sky. The women are depicted in a relaxed, intimate setting, with the dog adding a sense of warmth and companionship. The artist has used soft, gentle lines to create a sense of calm and tranquility.
