EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures a moment frozen in time, depicting the Roubel family in their elegant interior during the 1750s. Painted by an anonymous English artist from the 18th century, this oil on canvas print showcases the refined taste and social status of this Georgian middle-class family. Seated around a grand table, we see the proud parents surrounded by their children. The formal composition exudes an air of wealth and prosperity, with every detail carefully arranged to convey a sense of sophistication. The father sits at one end of the table, exuding authority and success, while the mother radiates grace and poise beside him. The children are positioned strategically throughout the scene - two sons stand confidently behind their parents' chairs while a daughter sits gracefully next to her mother. Their presence adds warmth and vitality to this domestic group portrait. Every brushstroke reveals meticulous attention to detail; from luxurious fabrics adorning each figure's attire to intricate patterns on furniture pieces that speak volumes about their affluent lifestyle. Formerly attributed to Stephen Slaughter but now housed at The Geffrye Museum of Home in London, this painting is not just an exquisite piece of portraiture but also serves as a window into history. It offers us glimpses into both familial relationships and societal norms prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images, we can't help but be transported back in time – witnessing firsthand what it meant for families like the Roubels to be
