Image description

Thomas Lucy III married Alice Spencer in 1610. They are here shown with seven of their children, and a nurse. The wealth of the family is implied through their costume, with intricately detailed lace, their jewellery, and the bowl of cherries – then a luxury foodstuff. The hawk and the bow suggest that the family partake in aristocratic pursuits. In this busy household, the rules were: no shooting with catapults indoors; courtesy to guests; and silence in the presence of elders. The boy approaching from the left, holding a bowl of apples, seems an awkward presence. It is possible that he is a page, rather than a family member, although his age might suggest that he is Spencer, who was born in around 1614. The picture was previously attributed to Cornelis Jonson.
