The detailed attire and the opulent interior reflect the family's wealth and sophistication, while the relaxed postures suggest a sense of ease and intimacy. The painting is a fine example of 18th-century portraiture, capturing the essence of a particular moment in the Strong family's life. It is currently displayed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
