About

Bella and Hanna. The Eldest Daughters of M. L. Nathanson is a painting by the Danish painter C. W. Eckersberg. It was painted in 1820. A busy portrait painter, Eckersberg received a commission from Mendel Levin Nathanson to paint two large family portraits. Eckersberg painted the two daughters in two different poses but made them appear strikingly similar, like two variations on a theme. The parrot in the cage may symbolize the longing of the daughters to move from a sheltered home and out into real life.
