This painting known as *The Spanish Family, depicts a mother with three young children.  One can't help but notice that the generalized "spanish family" is lacking a father and includes an overwhelmed mother with numerous children.  Since we just discussed family terms in Chapter two, I thought this would illustrate that very thing. Terms such as nino, nina, and madre describe those in the picture.  Aside from the darkness and morbid tone of the picture, the detail is excellent and the emotion moving.

*  The Spanish Family was painted in 1943 by Alice Neel
