In honor of Thanksgiving, this week's portrait is all about family. I give you Charles Wilson Peale & his family painted in 1773 in the collection at the New York Historical Society. There are some nice close-up images on the NYHS site.
Lots of great detail here ladies and gentlemen, especially the contrast between the older and the younger women -- even the difference between how both grannies are dressed. So hopefully you can take a few minutes to enjoy Mr Peale's family before you are off to enjoy your own.
YH&OS,
Mrs. S
