The characteristic features of family portraits in painting of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries had their own characteristics, reflecting the social and cultural norms of that time. Here are some of these traits: - 1. Formality: Family portraits were usually formal and formal. Family members were often depicted in formal attire or clothing appropriate to their status.
- 2. Posing: Many portraits required long-term posing of models, which gave the works seriousness and dignity.
- 3. Hierarchy: An important component of family portraits is the identification of the main figure or parent as the central figure symbolizing authority and power.
- 4. Location: Family members were usually located close to each other on the canvas, emphasizing unity and belonging to the same community.
- 5. Activities: Some family portraits may represent family members engaged in various activities, such as reading, playing musical instruments or communicating with each other.
- 6. Attributes: Family portraits often included symbolic objects or attributes that reflected the professions or interests of the family and served to emphasize its status.
- 7. Background: The background in family portraits was usually neutral and orderly, so as not to distract attention from the main characters.
- 8. Expression: Facial expressions could be quite serious and strict in earlier eras, but as the painting style developed, the expression of emotions on the faces of models also changed.
Although each artist had his own individual approach to creating family portraits, these traits helped to create works that conveyed the socio-cultural significance and values of that time.

Family portraits represent a kind of family property, they show not only members of the family at a certain point in time, but also its values, status, everything that is supposed to be transmitted to descendants, to preserve and multiply. They can also tell a lot about the family, the more numerous it is - the more respect and admiration it causes.
