Brief Description

A painted portrait of a man, woman, and child, the man holding a reflective object

Detailed Description

The painting depicts a three-quarter length portrait of three figures: a man, a woman, and a child, positioned against a plain, dark background. On the left, a woman is shown facing slightly towards the right. She wears a dark dress with long sleeves and a wide, white, pointed collar, along with a dark cap that covers her hair, though some light brown strands are visible. Her left hand gently holds the child's right hand, and she wears a ring on her left ring finger. Her gaze is directed towards the child and the man. In the center, a young child stands or sits between the two adults, looking directly forward with rosy cheeks and light brown hair. The child is dressed in a light-colored, possibly white or cream, full-skirted dress with patterned sleeves, which appear to be gold and dark green. A white cap is visible beneath a dark, wide-brimmed hat. On the right, a man is depicted facing slightly towards the left. He wears a dark, wide-brimmed hat, a dark coat, and a white collar with a decorative white cravat or jabot. He has long, curly brown hair and a mustache. His right hand is extended towards the child, holding a small, round, reflective object, possibly a bubble, above the child's head. His gaze is directed towards the child. In the upper left corner of the dark background, a coat of arms is visible, featuring multiple shields with various designs and a decorative ribbon at the top.
