"Sir Elijah and Lady Impey and Their Three Children" is an 18th-century oil painting by the German neoclassical painter Johann Zoffany, who became renowned for his portraiture and works depicting the lives of European aristocracy. The painting is a group portrait of Sir Elijah Impey, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court at Calcutta under the British East India Company, his wife Mary, Lady Impey, and their three children.

The artwork is significant for its representation of a prominent British family in India during the colonial period. Sir Elijah Impey, appointed in 1774, was a controversial figure accused of judicial misconduct and corruption, though he was later acquitted. His wife, Lady Impey, is noted for her interest in natural history and for commissioning a series of paintings known as the "Impey Album," which depicted the flora and fauna of the Indian subcontinent.

Johann Zoffany, a member of the Royal Academy in London, traveled to India in 1783 and spent several years there, painting portraits of British and Indian aristocracy. His work is characterized by attention to detail, use of light, and a focus on the social interactions of his subjects. "Sir Elijah and Lady Impey and Their Three Children" exemplifies Zoffany's skill in capturing the nuances of family dynamics and the opulence of the colonial elite.

The painting is noted for its composition, which includes the family in a relaxed, yet stately pose, surrounded by symbols of their wealth and status. The children are depicted with an air of informal playfulness, which contrasts with the formal portraiture of the time. The work is also a valuable historical document, providing insight into the attire, interiors, and lifestyle of British colonial families in India.

"Sir Elijah and Lady Impey and Their Three Children" is part of a larger body of Zoffany's work that contributes to our understanding of colonial history and the cultural exchanges between Britain and India. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be a subject of study for art historians and scholars interested in the colonial period and the history of British art in India.
