A father, mother and their three children enjoy a meal together in the picture. While the children eat their lunches, the mother looks after the baby and the father watches over the family. Blue sky visible through an open window shows the heat outside. The kid is dressed in white to represent tranquility, while the mother wears white to represent sacrifice (Lawrence & Nicholas, 2013).
