Me and My Wife and Daughter

1780–1800

Not on view

This gently humorous image represents three family members borne by a single horse, with the father astride, and his wife and daughter in panniers at either side. As the trio moves toward a distant house, the wife places her arm affectionately around her husband's waist, and daughter gestures to point out an unseen object of interest.
