About the piece
Painted around 1769 by Johann Zoffany, this masterful family portrait exemplifies the British 'conversation piece' genre. The composition skillfully balances the figures, horses, and a faithful spaniel against a lush, atmospheric English landscape, capturing the refined social standing and intimate bonds of the Drummond family through luminous colors and sophisticated brushwork.
