"Mrs. Benjamin West and Her Son Raphael" is a notable historical painting by the Anglo-American artist Benjamin West, who was a prominent figure in the history of Western art during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Created in 1770, this work is a family portrait that depicts West's wife, Elizabeth Shewell West, and their son, Raphael Lamar West. The painting is significant for its personal subject matter, showcasing West's intimate family life, which was a departure from his more common historical and mythological themes.

The portrait is executed in the Rococo style, which was popular in the 18th century, characterized by its elegance, ornate detail, and soft color palette. In the painting, Elizabeth is shown seated, wearing a luxurious gown with her young son standing beside her, his hand gently resting on his mother's arm, symbolizing the bond between mother and child. The composition reflects the sentimental values of the period, emphasizing the virtues of motherhood and familial affection.

Benjamin West (1738–1820) was born in Pennsylvania and later moved to England, where he became the second president of the Royal Academy of Arts and the historical painter to King George III. He was instrumental in the development of neoclassical painting in Britain and is often remembered for his grand historical works. However, "Mrs. Benjamin West and Her Son Raphael" offers a more personal glimpse into the artist's life, revealing his role as a husband and father.

The painting is not only a testament to West's skill as a portraitist but also serves as a document of his family life and personal relationships. It is an important work within West's oeuvre, providing insight into the artist's private world and the societal norms of the time. The painting is held in a public collection, allowing viewers to appreciate the historical and artistic significance of this intimate family portrait by one of the era's leading artists.
