John, Fourteenth Lord Willoughby de Broke, and his Family is a 1766 oil by Johann Zoffany, a Rococo painting work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
The painting depicts a family of six gathered around a table, with the father standing and the mother seated. The children are dressed in white and pink, while the parents wear more formal attire, with the father in a brown suit and the mother in a blue dress. The room is decorated with a fireplace, a painting above it, and a red rug on the floor. The family is engaged in various activities, with one child playing with a toy horse and another reaching for something on the table. The atmosphere appears to be one of warmth and intimacy, with the family members interacting with each other in a relaxed manner. This painting is a great example of the work of Johann Zoffany, who was known for his portraits of families and groups.
Johan / Johann Joseph Zoffany (born Johannes Josephus Zaufallij; 13 March 1733 – 11 November 1810) was a German neoclassical painter who was active mainly in England, Italy, and India.
