Detailed Description
A large, dark painting depicts a family group in a richly furnished interior. In the center-right, a woman with light brown hair, wearing a blue dress with a white chemise, is seated, looking directly forward. On her lap, a fair-skinned baby, mostly nude and wrapped in red and white fabric, looks towards the right. To the woman's left, a young girl with light hair, dressed in a pink bodice and yellow skirt over a light blue underskirt, sits and gestures towards the baby. To the woman's right, an older girl with light hair stands, wearing a long, patterned dress in shades of blue, red, and white, looking forward. Behind the woman, a young boy with light hair, wearing a reddish-brown top, stands and looks forward. A grey dog sits at the feet of the older girl, looking up at the baby. On the left side of the painting, a man with long, dark hair, dressed in a dark robe over a white shirt and light-colored breeches, is seated, looking towards the family group. His left hand rests on his stomach, and his right arm is extended towards the family. To his left, a golden-brown bust of a figure wearing a helmet rests on a dark pedestal. Below the bust, a globe, several open books, a skull, and writing implements are scattered on the floor. Dark, heavy drapery hangs behind the man on the left. In the background, above the woman, a framed landscape painting with a dark sky is visible. A smaller, dark portrait is partially visible behind the man on the left. Architectural elements, including a fluted column, are on the far right.
