EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group portrait, titled 'Three Sisters' or 'The Wainewright Girls,' dates back to the mid-1840s and is a beautiful example of Victorian-era painting. The painting depicts three young girls, all dressed in similar outfits and with striking resemblances, suggesting that they are sisters. Their expressions are serene, yet there is an undercurrent of mystery and intrigue that sets this portrait apart from typical family portraits of the time. The painting was created by the renowned English artist, Thomas Griffiths Wainewright, who was known for his innovative techniques and use of unconventional materials in his work. However, Wainewright's reputation took a dark turn in the late 19th century when he was suspected of being a serial killer. He was rumored to have poisoned several of his patrons and acquaintances, leading to a scandal that overshadowed his artistic legacy. Despite the dark rumors surrounding Wainewright, this painting remains a captivating work of art that continues to intrigue art historians and collectors. The girls' enigmatic expressions and the subtle details in their clothing and surroundings invite the viewer to imagine their stories and connections. The painting's rich colors and intricate brushwork showcase Wainewright's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This portrait is part of the 'March of the Women' collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, which showcases a diverse range of historical and artistic depictions of women throughout history. The collection offers a unique perspective on the role of women in art and society, and this painting is a testament to the power of art to evoke emotion and provoke thought.
