This print captures the Browne family in all their splendor during a leisurely outing by the lake. Painted by Francis Wheatley around 1773/4, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases George and Mary Browne with their five elder children, immortalizing a moment of joy and togetherness. The scene is set against the picturesque backdrop of a tranquil river flowing gently into the distance. The family can be seen engaged in various activities that reflect their shared love for nature and recreation.

George Browne stands proudly beside his wife Mary, both radiating warmth and affection towards each other and their children. Their bond is evident as they oversee the joyful chaos unfolding around them. In this idyllic setting, fishing lines dangle from eager hands as anticipation fills the air. Laughter echoes through the trees as each member of this close-knit family finds solace and happiness in one another's company.
