A Portrait of the Daughters of Ramón Subercaseaux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Portrait of the Daughters of Ramón Subercaseaux is an 1892 oil painting by Swedish artist Anders Zorn.[2]
Anders Zorn moved to Paris with his wife Emma in the spring of 1888 where he came into contact with fellow artists such as John Singer Sargent, Giovanni Boldini and James McNeill Whistler, establishing himself as a successful society portraitist.
Zorn was commissioned by the Chilean painter, politician and diplomat Ramón Subercaseaux to paint this portrait of Subercaseaux' daughters Blanca and Rosaria. Zorn was probably introduced to Subercaseaux by Sargent, who painted a notable portrait of Subercaseaux' wife Madame Ramon Subercaseaux. Boldini also painted portraits of the Subercaseaux family.[1]
