Visual Description and Style
Expressionistic Portraiture
The painting is a close-up, highly stylized expressionistic portrait of two women, presumably the sisters referenced in the title. The style is characterized by its energetic and rough texture, achieved through thick application of paint (impasto), where brushstrokes are clearly visible. This texture gives the subjects a raw, immediate quality.
Color and Mood
The color palette is dominated by intense warm colors, primarily rich reds, oranges, and yellows, creating a vibrant and emotionally rich mood. These warm tones contrast with the touches of cool green and blue found in the background and accents, making the central figures visually pop. The overall effect is passionate and bold.
Cultural Symbolism
The women wear elaborate, traditional Mongolian hats which are stylized and simplified into geometric forms, but immediately recognizable as cultural symbols. The vertical format emphasizes the close physical proximity of the two figures, reinforcing the theme of sisterhood and the intimate bond between them. The painting appears to be a celebration of Mongolian femininity and cultural heritage viewed through a modern, abstract lens.
The dramatic shift in style and subject matter (from the landscape realism of the LHD69 series to this contemporary expressionistic portraiture) highlights the diversity and dynamism of modern Mongolian art.
