Collected Letters of the Widow Flannigan
I love that the frumpy-ish one is standing there looking bored, in a dark and uninteresting dress, her curls disheveled, holding a book, and the prim miss (the younger, more promisingly attractive sister?) is seated luxuriously,  in virginal white with a fur stole, hair perfectly coiffed and lubed, staring intently out of the portrait as if to say, “See, I’m pretty enough to marry. I’m not a book-reading dweeb like split-ends McGee back here.” Bitch. princesslibuse: “Portrait of Two Sisters” 1840 (Louis-Edouard  Dubufe, 1819-1883 French)
