EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures a Venetian family in the midst of their daily routine, with a dedicated manservant serving them coffee. The scene unfolds in an opulent salon adorned with elegant green damask. Positioned to the right, the patriarch of the household sits comfortably on a wooden armchair upholstered in matching green fabric. He dons a simple jacket and shorts, accentuated by an intricately embroidered sleeve vest. In his hands rests a delicate porcelain cup, ready to be filled with aromatic coffee. Opposite him sits his wife, gracefully securing her sleeves while seated on a yellow armchair. She radiates elegance wearing a brocade pink robe à l'anglaise embellished with a large green bow. Pearl earrings adorn both ears and atop her head rests a dainty white cap. Between this loving couple stands an ornate table decorated in shades of green and gold, holding sewing essentials such as scissors and thread within its confines. Behind this tableau stands their loyal servant dressed impeccably in his own green ensemble - jacket, vest, and trousers - exuding professionalism and dedication to his duties. With utmost care, he presents silver tray bearing all necessities for enjoying coffee: from the gleaming silver coffee pot to sugar bowl accompanied by tongs; two porcelain cups await their turn. Completing this vibrant composition is another figure situated on the left side - perhaps another member of the household or visitor - offering an oliebol pastry shaped like ring to an excited young boy clad in white skirt who clutches onto his toy trumpet tightly. Pietro Longhi's masterful brushstrokes bring life into this intimate portrayal of familial bonds intertwined with domesticity during 18th-century Venice.
