Hendrik Pothoven's "De kinderen van Pieter Cornelis Hasselaer en Clara Wendela Sautijn, wier portretten aan de wand hangen, met hun grootmoeder Wendela Eleonora Reael," is a 1761 family portrait depicting a Dutch family in a grand, elegant interior. The painting showcases the Hasselaer family, with portraits of the parents hanging on the wall, and the children and their grandmother seated in front of a fireplace. The work demonstrates Pothoven's adeptness at depicting the grandeur of the wealthy Dutch middle class in the 18th century, using subtle details and compositional balance to create a sense of opulence.
