Eight-year-old Jenny and twelve-year-old Berthe Serruys are dressed identically, but their attention is focused in different directions. Lemmen has rendered his young subjects as distinct individuals with a compelling presence.
The bold color scheme also contributes to the image’s power. Relying heavily on the Neo-Impressionist practice of using complementary colors, or opposites on the color wheel, Lemmen applied dots of green and orange pigments to create a vibrant contrast with the red dresses and blue background.
The painted wooden frame is a rare surviving example of an original Neo-Impressionist frame
