Also, there are postal restrictions, regarding the size of the shipment.
Additionally, due to the dimensions of the stretched canvas, the shipment price may exceed the price of the product itself.

Over 20 Years Experience
Only Museum Quality

The paintings we create are only of museum quality. Our academy graduated artists will never allow a compromise in the quality and detail of the ordered painting. TOPofART do not work, and will never allow ourselves to work with low quality studios from the Far East. We are based in Europe, and quality is our highest priority.

The canvas presents a domestic interior where a mother in full mourning attire stands beside two daughters dressed in immaculate pinafores, their white aprons a stark contrast against her somber black garments. The father, seated to the right, appears somewhat disconnected, his posture turned away from the viewer as he fixes his gaze elsewhere. A gilded mirror, an ornate clock, and delicate floral wallpaper lend the space a subdued sense of affluence and tradition. The quiet presence of a small dog, partially cut by the right edge of the frame, quietly hints at the theme of confinement that resonates throughout the scene.

A limited palette of cool blues and grays shapes the room, punctuated by the darker tones of the mother’s clothing and the father’s understated attire. This measured use of color emphasizes the emotional distance between the figures, and it underscores a tension that feels both intimate and formal. The mother’s black garments draw the eye, while the bright aprons worn by the children highlight the daughters as emerging figures within the narrative. Together, these choices create a careful interplay of light and shadow that guides the viewer’s attention from one figure to another.

Executed with oil on canvas, the artist’s technique combines crisp delineation of contours with softer transitions across skin tones and fabrics. The mother’s face, for instance, is rendered with meticulous precision, while subtler brushstrokes in the folds of the children’s dresses capture the gentle fall of fabric. This thoughtful approach - at once precise and quietly expressive - engages the viewer in the psychological dynamic of the group, inviting close observation of each figure’s stance and bearing.

Compositionally, the family is arranged in a roughly triangular format, with the mother’s vertical presence at left and the father’s seated figure to the right, balancing the image. The children occupy a middle space that draws the viewer’s gaze, suggesting their pivotal role in the family dynamic. Openings created by the mirror, the doorway, and the partially visible painting in the background offer subtle possibilities for movement, though these paths also heighten an air of inward tension. Painted during the artist’s time in Italy, when the family was in exile, this portrait reflects both a European fascination with the Flemish masters and an insight into private emotional landscapes. The father’s political banishment and the mother’s recent bereavement seem to permeate the air, shaping a tableau in which each figure, bound by tradition and circumstance, still finds a moment of individuality beneath the watchful gaze of the viewer.
