De kunstenaar zelf en zijn gezin 1796

"De kunstenaar zelf en zijn gezin" (The Artist Himself and His Family) is a watercolor painting by Warner Horstink created in 1796. The artwork depicts the artist himself, his wife, and their three children. The family is arranged in a domestic setting, with the artist seated at a table and drawing. The painting is notable for its intimate portrayal of a Dutch family in the late 18th century. It also serves as a self-portrait of the artist and showcases his skill as a draftsman. The inclusion of objects such as a rocking horse and a potted plant adds a sense of domesticity and warmth to the composition.
