"Portrait of Mother Catherine-Agnes Arnauld (1593-1671) and Sister Catherine of St. Suzanne Champaigne (1636-86), the Artist's Daughter, 1662" is a notable work by the French Baroque painter Philippe de Champaigne. This double portrait, created in 1662, is a significant example of Champaigne's portraiture work, which often combined a rigorous attention to detail with a deep sense of psychological insight.

The painting depicts two nuns: Mother Catherine-Agnes Arnauld, who was an abbess of the Port-Royal Abbey, a stronghold of the Jansenist movement within the Catholic Church, and Sister Catherine of St. Suzanne, who was not only a nun at the same abbey but also the artist's own daughter. The work is celebrated for its austere composition and the way it captures the spiritual dedication of its subjects.

Philippe de Champaigne (1602-1674) was a prominent painter of the French Baroque era, known for his mastery in both religious and secular subjects. His work is characterized by its clarity, simplicity, and a realistic approach to the human figure and face. The "Portrait of Mother Catherine-Agnes Arnauld and Sister Catherine of St. Suzanne" is a testament to Champaigne's skill in portraying the inner life of his sitters through a restrained and poignant visual language.

The painting is also an important historical document, as it provides insight into the religious and cultural milieu of 17th-century France, particularly the Jansenist controversy within the Catholic Church. The austere lifestyle of the nuns and their commitment to the Jansenist cause are subtly suggested through their simple habits and the somber, yet serene, expressions on their faces.

Today, the portrait is not only appreciated for its artistic qualities but also as a window into the complex religious dynamics of the time and the personal story of the artist. It remains an enduring example of Philippe de Champaigne's ability to convey profound emotional depth and sincerity in his portraits.
