Family Portrait in front of a Harbour is a 1800 oil by Jacques Sablet, held at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
This painting depicts a family of seven people gathered in front of a harbour. The family members are dressed in formal attire, with the men wearing coats and the women wearing long dresses.
