Johann Zoffany painted this in about 1772, aged about 38. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> This type of picture, known as a conversation piece, was invented in England in the 1700s and popular for the informal way it represented families. A father and daughter, mother and son, are strategizing over the next hand in a game of cards.
