Family Portrait (detail)
by TILBORGH, Gillis van, Oil on canvas
The painter took care to demonstrate the well-being of the family with extras, props and scenery. On the left, on the table a huge golden platter and a goblet are shown, the walls are covered with figured wallpaper, there are paintings not far below the ceiling, servants are eagerly waiting for the master and the mistress’ commands and there is animated activity in the kitchen.
