About the piece
Painted in 1728, this intimate group portrait by Joseph Highmore captures the artist's own wife and children with a sophisticated Rococo elegance. The shimmering white satin of Susanna's dress serves as a brilliant focal point, contrasted by the deep reds and greens of her son's attire, exemplifying the refined portraiture of the English school.
