Florence and Louisa Chambers - two early portraits by Boldini, circa 1868-70


Florence Chambers.

I tried but was unable to find anything about the subjects of these two portraits. I assume they're sisters, perhaps British; they may have been painted during an early visit of the artist to London. Charming portrayals of sufficiently handsome, fashionably dressed young ladies, they display none of the later bravura brushwork for which Boldini is known.

Louisa Chambers.
