Description
English: Mrs. Samuel Mifflin and Her Granddaughter Rebecca Mifflin Francis

Artist: Charles Willson Peale (American, Chester, Maryland 1741–1827 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) Date: 1777–80 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 50 1/8 x 40 1/4 in. (127 x 101.8 cm) Classification: Paintings Credit Line: Egleston Fund, 1922

Peale portrayed Mrs. Mifflin, born Rebecca Edgell, in the act of instructing her granddaughter in virtue and morals from an emblem book. The atmosphere of affectionate serenity with which the well-knit group is imbued probably indicates that Mrs. Mifflin was a contented, pleasant matron and a good mother to her three children. It also reflects Peale's own love for family life and his reverence for domestic happiness.
