It's awfully hard to paint a group scene and get everything working together. So just for fun, here are some awkward family portraits by artists of the past. Here's "Self Portrait with Family" by George Dawe (1781-1829).
"Self Portrait with his Family and Father in Law," by Jacob Jordaens (1593-1678).
