Portrait of Marcello Bacciarelli’s mother and brother is a 1781 oil by Marcello Bacciarelli, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting depicts a woman and a man. The woman is seated, wearing a green dress with a white shawl. She holds a piece of paper in her left hand and points to it with her right hand. The man stands behind her, dressed in black, and looks down at the paper. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest an older style, but the exact time period is unclear. The man's dark clothing contrasts with the woman's lighter tones, creating a sense of depth in the scene. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting adds to its visual interest.
Marcello Bacciarelli (Italian pronunciation: ; 16 February 1731 – 5 January 1818) was an Italian-born painter of the late-baroque and Neoclassic periods active in Poland and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
