This portrait is of Thomas Jones, a landscape painter, with his wife, Rachel, and his two daughters. Jones stands on the right by his easel; while the daughters are at a spinet which one of them is playing. Mrs Jones sits on the left at a spinning-wheel and we see a middle-aged man seated in the background.
