EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group portrait of a family in the serene grounds of a country house. Painted by Benjamin Ferrers, an artist active during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 100.3 x 125.7 cm. The scene depicts a picturesque setting with lush greenery and an elegant veranda adorned with exquisite decor. The family members are positioned outside, standing on the balcony, enjoying their time together in the early 18th century. In the foreground, we see a man and woman engrossed in reading books, while a young girl sits nearby absorbed in her own literary adventure. Three animals - perhaps beloved pets - accompany them on this tranquil day outdoors. Ferrers' attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays each individual's posture and expression. The composition exudes warmth and intimacy as it showcases multiple generations gathered together within the confines of their stately residence. This remarkable work of art provides us with insight into British life during this period, capturing not only the fashion and interior decoration but also offering glimpses into familial relationships and leisure activities enjoyed by people from various walks of life. As we admire this beautiful painting captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back to an era where time seemed to stand still amidst nature's beauty and cherished moments shared among loved ones.
