Detailed Description
Ten individuals, including a baby, are arranged in an interior room. The scene is set against dark blue walls with gold trim, and a red carpet covers the floor in the foreground. On the far left, a man with white hair, wearing a dark blue coat with red trim and white breeches, sits on a wooden chair, facing right. Behind him, a man with white hair, dressed in a light blue coat and white cravat, stands looking towards the viewer. To their right, a woman with an elaborate white hairstyle and a light blue dress sits, holding a baby dressed in white. Another woman with a white wig and a light-colored dress stands slightly behind and to the left of the woman with the baby. In the center, two men stand in military-style uniforms. The man on the left wears a dark blue coat with gold trim and white breeches, a red sash, and a bicorne hat under his arm. The man on the right wears a similar dark blue coat with white lapels, a red sash, and white breeches. Between these two men, a woman with a white wig and a light blue dress stands, her arm resting on the military man's arm. On the far right, a man with white hair and a brown coat sits in a patterned armchair, holding an open book. A small wooden table with a teacup and saucer is positioned between the seated man on the left and the woman holding the baby. A small white and brown dog sits on the red carpet in the lower center, looking up. The background features a wall clock and framed decorative panels.
