17th century painting


Basically what we see in this painting is a family that has really nothing but is filled with joy and love. We can understand from the painting that their life has been very hard and that they are hard working people. The lighting going from dark to light suggests this idea. The kid sitting at the window we can see was looking out at the hills and the trees and yet he is content with just staying inside spending time with his family. This suggests that neither he nor the family really need anything else because all he needs is in this room.
