EDITORS COMMENTS
Alexander Masterton and His Wife and Children, 1834" is a captivating oil on canvas painting by Scottish artist William Hamilton. This remarkable piece, measuring 162.56x203.2 cm, now resides in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in California, USA. The painting showcases a picturesque New England landscape with lush foliage, towering trees, and a serene river flowing through it. The Masterton family is depicted outdoors in their Sunday best attire, enjoying quality time together amidst nature's beauty. Seated comfortably on the riverbank, Alexander Masterton proudly holds his fishing rod while engaging in conversation with his wife and children. The composition exudes warmth and harmony as they bask in the tranquil ambiance of their surroundings. This period portrait captures the essence of post-colonial America during the Federal era. It offers an intimate glimpse into family life at that time – a united states where outdoor activities like fishing were cherished moments for bonding and relaxation. Hamilton skillfully brings each member of the Masterton family to life through meticulous attention to detail. From their expressions to their clothing choices, every element contributes to creating an authentic representation of this American household from 1834. As we admire this masterpiece today, we are transported back in time to witness not only a beautiful scene but also a poignant reflection of familial love and unity that transcends generations.
