About the piece
Painted around 1835 by George Chinnery, this oil on canvas depicts an English family during their time in Macao. The work masterfully balances the intimacy of the family group—featuring a mother and daughters in luminous silks and a young son in a traditional kilt—against a grand interior backdrop that includes a view of a sailing vessel through the window.
