Portrait of Aernout van Beeftingh, his wife Jacoba Maria Boon and their Children by Nicolaes Muys (1740-1808) oil on panel, 1797. In this informal family portrait, a mother nurses her baby, a very advanced image for the time. The father studies a print in his collection, while the eldest son puts a portfolio with drawings or prints away in the collector's cabinet. Van Beeftingh's son Jozua plays with a whip and toy horse, while toddler Pieter, in his high chair eats a biscuit. Should he fall, he will be protected by his padded head covering.
