About the piece
Painted around 1645 by William Dobson, this compelling portrait captures a family group with striking realism and Baroque drama. The composition includes a traditional memento mori—a stack of skulls—serving as a contemplative reminder of mortality, a common philosophical theme in mid-17th-century European art.
