At the following link, there is a detailed biography about the Bronte sisters and their literary influence during their lifetimes. The page contains an extremely interesting painting of the sisters - painted by their one and only brother Branwell, who originally painted himself into the portrait, but then decided to take himself out of the painting because he felt like it cluttered it up. Extremely interesting for Andrey.

On a more pop culture note, there is a movie about the Bronte sisters (1946) called "Devotion" starring Olivia De Havilland as Charlotte Brante. The trailer seems to quite successfully represent the romantic style of film-making of the 1940's, but I definitely think it could inform a lot about Chekhov's sisters.
