About the piece
Painted in 1866 by Seymour Joseph Guy, this work depicts the family of Robert Gordon in their New York dining room. It is a masterful example of American genre painting, noted for its meticulous representation of the home's art collection, the warm glow of the chandelier, and the candid, spirited interaction of the children at the center of the composition.
