About this work

This painting shows a family group with four kids and an older man. The children are dressed in old-fashioned clothes—one in a white dress holding a stuffed toy, another in blue with a gold belt, and a baby in a ruffled shirt. The man wears a dark hat and a light-colored wig. The colors are soft, with lots of browns and pastels. Notice the baby’s toy—a stuffed animal with a round head and a ribbon. The older girl holds a pink flower, and the boy in blue has a small cross on his belt. Look up Lindh, Johan Erik next to see more of his work.
