The Hirschsprung family portrait (Danish: Det Hirschsprungske familiebillede) is a 1881 painting by Peder Severin Krøyer.

It was requested by Pauline, Heinrich's wife who wanted a family portrait before her sons went off to boarding school in Switzerland.

[1] The Hirschsprung family portrait is painted in a realist style that was dominant in Denmark at the time and is heavily influenced by Édouard Manet, whose work Krøyer had come to know in Paris.

[c] It shows an apparently casual family scene at a quiet moment and evokes a kind of "Sunday feeling".

Despite the division into pairs and despite the limited interaction between the family members, Krøyer still manages to instil a sense of togetherness and seclusion in the work.

The pairs, plus Robert reading the newspaper, are represented in the form of ellipses, which are repeated in the round table and part of the balustrade.

With this presentation, Krøyer emphasizes the intimacy of the nuclear family, which is inherent in the concept of 'family' despite traditional male-female roles.
