The Elder Sister" is a captivating oil painting on board created by Irish artist William Conor in the year 1920. The artwork, which is circa 1920, depicts an elder sister looking down at her younger sibling with a gentle and loving expression. The elder sister's gaze is filled with warmth and protection, as she tenderly cradles her sibling's head in her hands. The younger sister, with her innocent and trusting eyes, gazes up at her elder sister, seeking comfort and guidance. The painting is a beautiful representation of the deep bond between siblings, particularly the role of an elder sister as a protector and caregiver. The use of oil paints lends a richness and depth to the image, bringing out the intricacies of the siblings' faces and the textures of their clothing. The muted colors and soft lighting create an intimate and nostalgic atmosphere, transporting the viewer back in time. William Conor was an accomplished Irish painter, known for his portraits and landscapes. He was born in 1881 and studied at the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin.
