The Daughters of Daniel T. MacFarlan

Theodore E. Pine

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts two young girls standing and sitting outdoors with a dog. The girl on the left stands wearing a yellow dress with blue ruffled sleeves and white lace trim at the hem. She has long, curly brown hair and holds a bouquet of flowers in her right hand, with her left hand on a black dog. The girl on the right sits on a chair, wearing a white dress with pink stripes and white lace trim. She has short brown hair and holds a bouquet of flowers. A pillow lies on the ground beside the chair. In the background, a large tree trunk is visible, with a house and mountains in the distance under a cloudy sky. Red flowering bushes are on the left.
