The Family 1909

"The Family" is a 1909 painting by Hungarian artist Bertalan Por (1880-1964). The painting depicts a group of seven figures, likely a family, arranged in a formal composition. The figures are rendered with a simplified, almost geometric style, characteristic of early 20th century Modernism. The somber palette and the figures' subdued expressions create a sense of intimacy and quiet reflection. The painting is a powerful example of Por's mature style, which combines elements of Realism and Expressionism.
