Painting Description
"The Misses Mary and Hannah Murray" is a notable double portrait painting by the American artist John Trumbull, completed in 1802. John Trumbull (1756–1843) was a prominent painter of the American Revolutionary War period, known for his historical scenes and portraits of key figures from the era. This particular work is significant as it captures the likenesses of the daughters of a prominent New York merchant family, Mary Murray (1783–1841) and Hannah Murray (1784–1808).
The painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures 36 1/4 x 27 1/4 inches (92.1 x 69.2 cm). It showcases Trumbull's skill in portraiture, presenting the young women in an elegant and refined manner that was typical of the Federalist period in the United States. The sisters are depicted in a domestic interior, seated closely together, which emphasizes their familial bond and the intimacy of their relationship. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of their facial features, hairstyles, and the intricate fabrics of their dresses.
"The Misses Mary and Hannah Murray" is an important work within Trumbull's oeuvre as it exemplifies his transition from historical and political subjects to more personal and private commissions. The portrait is also a valuable document of the fashion and interior design of the early 19th century, providing insights into the social and cultural life of the American upper class during that period.
The painting is part of the collection of the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut. It was bequeathed to the gallery by the sitters' brother, John R. Murray Jr., in 1863. As an artwork that combines historical significance with artistic merit, "The Misses Mary and Hannah Murray" continues to be studied and appreciated for its contribution to early American portraiture and the broader narrative of American art history.
