Capel family
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Capel Family is one of the few group portraits by Cornelius Johnson, who is better known for head and shoulders portraits.
The portrait was painted in oil on canvas around 1641 and is 63 inches (160 cm) by 102 inches (260 cm).
It shows Arthur Capel, his wife, Elizabeth Morrison and their children, Mary, Henry, Charles, Elizabeth and Arthur. In the background is the garden at Little Hadham.
It is on display at the National Portrait Gallery in London.[1] The portrait was probably commissioned to mark Capel's appointment as Baron Capel in 1641.[2]
