"Double Portrait" by Sofonisba Anguissola is a notable work by the Renaissance painter, who was one of the first internationally recognized female artists. Anguissola, born in Cremona, Italy, in 1532, was known for her portraiture, which often depicted members of the nobility and her own family with a keen eye for psychological depth and personal character.

The "Double Portrait," also known as "Portrait of the Artist's Sisters Playing Chess," painted circa 1555, is a significant example of Anguissola's mastery in capturing the intimate moments of domestic life. The painting features two of her sisters, Lucia and Minerva, engaged in a game of chess, accompanied by a young servant or chaperone. This work is celebrated for its portrayal of the intellectual engagement of women, a subject rarely highlighted in art of that period. The sisters are depicted with a sense of grace and concentration, emphasizing the artist's focus on the intellectual pursuits and capabilities of women, rather than their physical beauty alone.

The painting is also remarkable for its technical skill, with attention to the details of the figures' expressions, the intricate patterns of their clothing, and the realistic depiction of the chess pieces and board. The composition and the use of light and shadow demonstrate Anguissola's talent and her ability to convey a narrative within her work.

As a female artist in the 16th century, Anguissola broke gender barriers and served as an inspiration for future generations of women artists. Her "Double Portrait" not only provides insight into the private lives of her subjects but also serves as a testament to her own pioneering role as a woman within the arts. The painting is held in the collection of the National Museum in Poznań, Poland, and continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic merit.
