This elegant family group can be identified by the coat of arms on the curtain. Susanna de Lannoy sits protectively between her three youngest children while their oldest brother confidently plays alone with his hobby horse. The father dominates the scene, his strength visually reinforced by the vertical columns leading to the dramatically-lit landscape beyond.
