"The Milkmaid's Family" is a notable genre painting from the 1640s, attributed to the Le Nain brothers, a trio of French painters consisting of Antoine (c. 1599–1648), Louis (c. 1603–1648), and Mathieu (1607–1677). This work is celebrated for its depiction of peasant life, a subject that the Le Nain brothers frequently explored with empathy and dignity. The painting portrays a humble family scene, centered around a milkmaid who is engaged in her daily task of milking a cow, while other family members are involved in various domestic activities.

The Le Nain brothers were known for their realistic portrayal of the French peasantry, and "The Milkmaid's Family" exemplifies their approach to genre painting. The work is characterized by a subdued color palette, meticulous attention to detail, and a sense of tranquility and domesticity. The figures are rendered with a solidity and presence that convey the weight of their existence, yet there is a gentle humanity in their depiction that resonates with viewers.

The painting's composition is balanced and harmonious, with the figures arranged in a manner that leads the viewer's eye through the scene. The use of light and shadow is masterful, highlighting the milkmaid as the focal point while also creating a sense of depth and volume. The Le Nain brothers' skill in capturing the textures of fabrics, the roughness of the wooden furniture, and the softness of the cow's hide adds to the painting's realism.

"The Milkmaid's Family" is considered an important work in the oeuvre of the Le Nain brothers and is often cited as an example of their contribution to the genre of peasant painting in 17th-century France. The painting is not only significant for its artistic qualities but also for its social commentary, as it reflects the Le Nain brothers' interest in the lives of the common people and their place within the broader context of French society during the period.

As with many works by the Le Nain brothers, the exact attribution among the three is uncertain, and art historians have debated their individual contributions to their collective body of work. Nonetheless, "The Milkmaid's Family" remains a testament to their collaborative genius and their ability to capture the essence of rural life with both realism and compassion. The painting is held in high regard and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
