Families

Some families have traits (like smiling on one side more than the other-the right side in this case). I'll bet the client was delighted that Sargent caught such a trait. As noted both girls have that feature. You can assume that what Sargent saw and painted was spot on.

Too many portaits are careful and generic and miss these very delicate things that RING of that person sitting before the artist.
