"Portret van een onbekende familie in een huiskamer" (Portrait of an Unknown Family in a Living Room) is an 1881 engraving by French artist Augustin Mongin. This artwork depicts a family of five, all of whom are dressed in 17th-century Dutch attire, situated inside a room with a table and multiple paintings on the walls. The detail of the clothing and the setting provides a glimpse into the fashion and interior design of the era. The engraving is a small, intimate work, measuring 139 mm in height and 180 mm in width, with a focus on the human subjects and their familial bonds. Mongin captures the realism of a Dutch family portrait with a touch of artistry, making it a compelling piece for art enthusiasts.
