"Portret van Benjamin West en zijn familie" (Portrait of Benjamin West and his family) is a 1781 engraving by D.P. Pariset, a print that depicts a portrait of the artist Benjamin West and his family. The engraving is done in a realistic style, with each of the members of the West family depicted in a seated pose, with the exception of the youngest member of the family who is standing. The artwork was engraved from a painting by an unknown artist. It’s likely that the print was published in 1781 as a promotional image for Benjamin West, as the inscription "To Her Imperial Majesty The Queen is respectfully inscribed by her most obedient and humble servant. - M.B" in the print suggests.
