"Anna and Margaretta Peale" is a notable double portrait painted by the American artist James Peale, who was part of the prominent Peale family of artists in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Created in 1795, this oil on canvas work measures 36 1/4 x 27 3/16 inches (92 x 69 cm) and is part of the collection at the Saint Louis Art Museum. The painting depicts two of James Peale's daughters, Anna Claypoole Peale and Margaretta Angelica Peale, who both became accomplished artists in their own right, continuing the artistic legacy of the Peale family.

In this portrait, James Peale captures the refined elegance and close relationship of his daughters. Anna, the elder sister, is shown seated, holding a drawing instrument, a detail that alludes to her artistic talents, particularly as a miniaturist. Margaretta stands beside her, resting her arm affectionately on Anna's shoulder, symbolizing their bond. The composition, with its detailed rendering of the subjects' features and the soft, naturalistic use of light, reflects the influence of James Peale's brother, Charles Willson Peale, under whom James trained.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of women artists during a period when the professional art world was predominantly male. "Anna and Margaretta Peale" serves as a testament to the role of the Peale family in the development of American art and the early encouragement of female artists. The painting is often discussed in the context of American portraiture, the Peale family's artistic dynasty, and the history of women in the arts.
