The children are portrayed as if to resemble adults of the epoch. The older girl wears a dress with a tight corset, typical of mid-18th century fashion. Her right hand his gloved and propped on a closed fan, while her left arm is around her younger sister’s shoulder. The girls look refined and confident, but also express curiosity and mutual affection. Per Krafft the Elder worked quite a lot in Denmark, where this portrait was made.
