This painting is from an album that contains 50 pictures showing Chinese domestic interiors and garden scenes. They were produced to satisfy the curiosity of westerners who wanted to know more about China. The seated man is the grandfather, who is about to embrace his grandson. An older boy stands nearby holding a fish-shaped kite.
