Family Portrait is a heartwarming collection of minimalistic faces populated a blank canvas that seem to emphasize shape, style, and color. The artist of this piece hasn't bothered to elevate one person to the primary subject of the piece, or a vivid background to compete with the foreground for attention, but has instead simply rendered a group of humans together, arranged something like a family picture. This original canvas painting depicts fourteen different people. Each of these people enjoy their own distinct wardrobe and posture, but emphasis is maintained on the group as a whole. The back row of the portrait is full of adult women, indicated by their elaborate headresses. These women stand at different heights and in relationship to different children in the foreground, presenting interesting context, and suggesting relationships that we, as the viewers, cannot know fully. The clothing of these women is painted in blue, white, gold, red, black, and white. While the colors of their garments vary a great deal, the styles are pretty uniform in that they are all dressed in flowing gowns. Standing in front of these women are five children, indicating by their smaller stature. These children are similarly rendered in a variety of styles, with their clothing more significantly patterned, grabbing the immediate attention of the viewer. This clothing is white, red, yellow and more. The overall impressions created by Family Portrait are of unity and love, and of course make a great and fitting addition to a family home. The loving, nurturing quality of this piece make it ideal for any number of rooms in your home including family room, living room, kitchen or bedroom.
The design of Family Portrait is a suitably traditional one. The artist of this piece has used a single canvas layout for the piece, which is very flattering to the subject matter. The canvas is of a lengthy size, and spreads out most notably on a horizontal plane, allowing the family depicted to do so also. The single canvas layout of this piece is ideal to preserve the sense of unity and harmony presented in the subject matter.
