The story of The Bellelli Family

The Bellelli Family, also known as Family Portrait, was painted c. 1858–1867 and is a portrait of Degas's aunt Laura, her husband the baron Gennaro Bellelli and their two young daughters, Giulia and Giovanna. While finishing his artistic training in Italy, Degas drew and painted them in Florence; it is believed that he used studies done in Italy to complete the work after his return to Paris. Laura is shown in a dress of mourning for her father, who appears in the framed portrait behind her.
