Portrait of a Family

Shadle & Busser

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man, woman, and child in three-quarter views. The man is seated in a wooden chair with his hands clasped, wearing a suit with a vest and chain. The woman stands by his side, wearing a dark, ornate gown with lace and embellishments. The child, sitting on a small chair, wears a buttoned-up jacket, shorts, knee-high socks, and boots. The background shows a faint image of a large castle-like building and stairs, with a fur throw on the floor.
