Although trained in oil painting, Ann Hall is known for her skillfully-executed portrait miniatures. The existence of other large-scale paintings by her is undetermined. This family group, traditionally attributed to Hall, deviates from her other works in overall style. While it has been suggested that the family group may depict Ann Hall together with family members in a New York City residence, the scene incorporates interior details that imply a more cosmopolitan setting- European objects and furniture, and a checkered marble floor.
