The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit

Posters from $15.00 CAD · Canvas from $39.00 CAD

Four sisters scattered across a shadowy Paris hall, two giant blue-and-white vases towering over them — Sargent's enigmatic, Velázquez-haunted group portrait that refuses to pose its subjects. One of the strangest, most psychological pictures of its century.

The story of The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit

The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit is an 1882 oil-on-canvas painting by John Singer Sargent. It portrays the four daughters — Florence, Jane, Mary Louisa, and Julia — of Sargent's friend, the expatriate American painter Edward Darley Boit, in the entrance hall of the family's Paris apartment. Its unconventional, asymmetrical composition is often compared to Velázquez's Las Meninas. The painting is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
