This painting is notable for its depiction of the family of Thomas Sharp, a music engraver, in a casual outdoor setting, which was a departure from the more formal and staged family portraits of the era. The artwork captures the Sharp family aboard their custom-built pleasure barge, the Apollo, on the River Thames near Fulham in London.

Johann Zoffany (1733–1810) was renowned for his theatrical and society portraits, and "The Sharp Family" is considered one of his masterpieces, showcasing his skill in rendering intricate details, textures, and the interplay of light and shadow. The painting is remarkable for its candid representation of the family's musical interests and their engagement in a private concert, which reflects the cultural pursuits of the English gentry during the period.

The composition includes eleven members of the Sharp family, along with a friend, and is filled with symbolism and references to the family's artistic and intellectual endeavors. The relaxed atmosphere, combined with the meticulous attention to the individual characters and their interactions, creates a lively and engaging scene that invites viewers to contemplate the social and cultural life of the time.

"The Sharp Family, 1779-81" is held in high esteem for its historical value, as well as its artistic excellence.
