The Painter's Family, Peter Adolf Hall, 1776

"this portrait of the painter’s wife, sister-in-law and daughter is often considered hall’s masterpiece. It shows his wife adelaïde née gobin (1752–1832), holding probably their second daughter lucie, born in 1774. Adelaïde’s younger sister, marie-victoire, the comtesse de la serre, holds a rattle and teething stick for the child. The miniature in the wallace collection is one of the most brilliant examples of hall’s portraiture, his most ambitious group portrait and an outstanding example of the free brushwork lauded by his contemporaries. " [1]. Object Type: painting. Date: 1776. Dimensions: height: 9 cm (3.5 in); width: 11 cm (4.3 in). Medium: color on ivory. Collection: The Wallace Collection.
