The father of a happy family blessed with 4 daughters raises his household with pride and optimism. This painting is a depiction of that household, the home of an acquaintance of the artist. In a society that is still largely focused on the importance of a boy child to the family, this is a celebration of the gradual departure from patriarchal norms as the 4 sisters are equally as valued as any boy child would be, and their home is complete.
