This is a large family portrait of Cook Cooper Taylor with his three sons. Cook Cooper Taylor was a wholesale druggist and Sheriff of York in 1819. The family are dressed in dark jackets and wear lace collars. Cook Cooper Taylor sits in a red chair, with his young sons gathered round him and the family’s hunting dog at his feet. It is a companion painting to that of his wife, Phoebe Spencer Nelson Taylor who is shown with their two daughters (see YORMA 261).
