Family at Rest

Carlo Labruzzi

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sepia-toned illustration showing a group of people outdoors. Four people are positioned on or near the grassy ground, surrounded by rocks and vegetation. In the foreground, a woman sits with her legs folded, wearing a dress with puffed sleeves. Next to her, a small child sits, bundled in clothing with visible curls. To the right, a man rests on a rock, leaning on his arms with his head supported by one hand and wearing a brimmed hat, a shirt, and trousers. Behind these figures, another man with a wide-brimmed hat is seated, partially facing away from the viewer. Further back stands another woman in a long dress with a headscarf, looking slightly upwards with her arms folded. The background consists of an open sky with a few clouds and possibly a tree or bush to the right.
