Self-portrait with daughters Henriette Royard and Marie de Rège in front of the easel (1754). Antoine Pesne (French, 1683-1757). Oil on canvas. Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.Pesne sits at his easel holding his brush and palette. Both Pesne and his two daughters are richly dressed. On the table are two leather-bound books and an overturned antique bust. These objects may refer to the intellectual side of the painter and the fact that he was director of the Berlin Academy linking the arts and letters. -- source link
