The artwork, titled “1.er Barón de Hadham y su familia,” was created by the artist Cornelius Johnson and belongs to the Baroque art movement. This painting is a formal family portrait that exemplifies the Baroque era’s characteristic richness and detail.
In the artwork, the central figures, presumably the baron and his wife, are seated prominently with their children arranged around them. The adults are dressed in elaborate, richly adorned clothing reflective of their high social status. The children’s attire similarly denotes their family’s wealth and standing. A large, luxurious red curtain frames the family from above, enhancing the scene’s grandeur. In the background, an intricately designed garden is visible, showcasing geometric patterns that were popular during the period. The garden’s inclusion suggests a further representation of the family’s wealth and sophistication. The composition as a whole displays a meticulous attention to detail, a hallmark of the Baroque movement, emphasizing both the opulence of the family and the artist’s skill.
