"Family Portrait" is an 1621 painting by Sir Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641), a Flemish Baroque artist.
The identity of the family is not known. Earlier the painting was supposed to be the family portrait of the painter Frans Snyders.
Sir Anthony van Dyck studied under Peter Paul Rubens and was one of his most accomplished students. Van Dyck's career flourished and he went on to become England's leading court painter.
Using his own compositional techniques, van Dyck was soon ranked alongside Titian in terms of style and the relaxed elegance of his portraits helped shape English portraiture for almost two centuries.
