Painting Description
"The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit" is a prominent oil painting by the American artist John Singer Sargent, completed in 1882. This enigmatic and psychologically rich portrait depicts the four young daughters of Edward Darley Boit, a wealthy American expatriate living in Paris, and his wife, Mary Louisa Cushing. The girls, from left to right, are Mary Louisa, Florence, Jane, and Julia.
Sargent's composition, influenced by the works of Diego Velázquez, notably "Las Meninas," is remarkable for its unconventional approach to portraiture. Instead of a traditional group portrait with subjects engaging the viewer, the Boit daughters are positioned at varying distances and angles within the dimly lit interior of their Parisian apartment, which contributes to the painting's enigmatic quality. The two large Japanese vases, also depicted in the painting, were actual possessions of the Boit family and add to the exotic and sophisticated ambiance of the scene.
The painting measures 222.5 x 222.5 cm (87 5/8 x 87 5/8 in.) and is housed in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It is considered one of Sargent's masterpieces and a prime example of his skill in using light and shadow to create depth and texture. The work is often noted for its departure from the sentimental Victorian representations of childhood, instead offering a more complex and ambiguous portrayal of the subjects' personalities and their social environment.
"The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit" has been the subject of extensive art historical analysis and interpretation. It is widely admired for its technical brilliance and its poignant, mysterious atmosphere, which continues to captivate viewers and scholars alike. The painting stands as a testament to Sargent's innovative approach to portraiture and his ability to capture the subtleties of human interaction and emotion.
