Family with Picnic Baskets 1820

"Family with Picnic Baskets" is an 1820 etching by Ludwig Ferdinand Schnorr von Carolsfeld. The artwork depicts a family of five figures, with two women, two young children, and a young man, all dressed in simple, yet elegant, clothing. The scene is likely set outdoors, as they are surrounded by foliage. The family's relaxed poses suggest a moment of leisure, perhaps during a picnic. The etching's delicate lines and subtle shading capture the peaceful ambiance of this domestic scene. This artwork is a fine example of the Romantic style, popular during the early 19th century.
