Among the painter's many renowned works, few deserve the phrase as much as "The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit." This painting depicting four young sisters in the family apartment, both explores and defies convention, crossing the boundaries between portrait and genre scene, formal composition and casual snapshot. Using numerous unpublished archival documents, scholar Erica E. Hirshler explores this iconic canvas from a vareity of angles, discussing its innovative significance as a work of art, the people involved in its making and what becomes of them, its importance to Sargent's career, its place in the tradition of artistic patronage and its changing meanings and lasting popularity." --Book Jacket.
