Portrait of the Artist's Sisters and Brothers

I simply just adore this picture because of how realistic it looks to me. The first time i saw it, i actually imagined them sitting down just in place while the artist painted this. I really like how the facial expressions, motions and even clothing is very realistic. This kind of painting might be considered as been secular just because it has nothing to do with biblical matters. This beautiful work was done by Sofonisba Anguissola, it is an oil on panel painting and is a part of the Methuen collection.
