The painting shows five people sitting in a room. Jane Vigor sits left holding embroidery. Joseph Vigor stands behind her. Their three children sit nearby. This is a "conversation piece." That means small family portraits where people pose doing everyday things. Here they look relaxed and natural. Check out more by Highmore, Joseph to see how he painted these quiet family scenes.
