Self-Portrait with His Family is a 1732 oil by Jean-Marc Nattier, a Rococo painting work, held at Palace of Versailles.
This painting shows a man and a woman with three children. The man stands behind the woman, who sits at a harpsichord. She wears a white dress and holds a book of music. The man is dressed in a brown coat and has his hand on his chin. The children are gathered around the woman, looking at the music or the harpsichord. The background is a room with green curtains. The woman's dress and the harpsichord suggest a wealthy family. The man's thoughtful expression adds a sense of quiet contemplation to the scene.
