|
This group portrait of a musical family group was painted by an unknown artist in the style of William Hogarth, an artist known for his depictions of English society in the 1700s. |
|
|
At this time music was becoming increasingly accessible for the middle classes. Music was a way to show refinement and status, which is what the family is doing by having their portrait painted in this way. |
