Celebrate love, resilience, and unity with 'The Family' (2004), a powerful piece of Black family portrait art by Antionette Simmons Hodges. This evocative artwork portrays three figures—a child and two adults—standing together in a stylized and solemn manner, symbolizing the enduring strength of family bonds.
This stunning example of Black family portrait art features a central child figure dressed in a simple white shirt and blue pants, flanked by two larger adult figures, his parents. The father wears a blue top, while the mother is clad in pink, their arms encircling the child protectively. The unified stance and physical connection between the figures make this Black family portrait art a heartfelt celebration of family unity.
Through muted tones and dense brushwork, Antionette Simmons Hodges explores themes of generational trauma and perseverance in this Black family portrait art. The stoic, mask-like expressions hint at the legacy of slavery, where African ancestors were often torn apart and unable to raise their children as a united family. Despite this painful history, the artwork honors the unbreakable bond of familial love.
This framed Black family portrait art print is a timeless representation of cultural heritage and resilience. Its powerful symbolism and emotional depth make it a meaningful addition to any home, office, or gallery space, celebrating the strength of family through the lens of Black family portrait art.

Product Details & Legal Information
Canvas & Materials
Our stretched canvas prints are made with thick, archival-grade polyester canvas that is pH-neutral and acid-free—designed to resist yellowing over time. Each piece is printed using giclée technology to produce vivid, true-to-life colors with a semi-gloss finish. A protective coating guards against scratches, smudges, and fingerprints, helping preserve the artwork's beauty for over 100 years.
The canvas is hand-stretched over solid, warp-resistant wood stretcher bars with rounded, beveled edges and a depth of 1.25", giving it a clean, gallery-quality profile. A pre-installed sawtooth hanger on the back ensures your artwork is ready to hang right out of the box.
Care Instructions
To ensure the long-lasting quality of your framed stretched canvas print:
- Display indoors, away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity, air pollutants (like smoke), or extreme temperatures. These conditions may cause fading, warping, or mold over time.
- Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive materials, as they may damage the printed surface.
- Lighting may affect appearance: Colors may look different under various lighting conditions. Our prints are calibrated for D50 (5000K daylight) viewing.
- For minor imperfections, small nicks can often be touched up with waterproof felt-tip markers or artist-grade touch-up paint.
By following these guidelines, your canvas print will retain its beauty and vibrancy for years to come.
