I went to the RIJKSMUSEUM in Amsterdam recently and this painting will not get out of my mind. It is saddening and beautiful. From what i remember in the description of it, these are the sisters of the painter, and their mother was struggling with depression at the time.

If i remember correctly they only really say it in passing. > The mother was suffering from depression and would die three years after the painting. I tried looking for more context but couldnt find any 😔
