The fashionably dressed mother of this family portrait appears lost in thought, while her children romp by her side, aiming playfully sly glances at the viewer. The portrait was commissioned by the family’s father and husband, a baronet and member of Parliament. Expressing cultural ideals of femininity and upper-class childhood, this portrait was a popular exhibit at the Royal Academy in the year it was painted.
