Notes

A nearly exact duplicate of this work hangs in the home of the owner's sister-in-law. Only side-by-side comparison would properly reveal the slight differences. For example, in the other canvas Albert's bangs have a few separations to reveal more of his forehead, whereas in this canvas he has only one. Minor variations in the flowers on the floor also exist, and the direction of the childrens' gazes seems to vary slightly in each work.
