The father, standing, seems to be rebuking his wife for some shortcoming, alluded to by the work’s first title. That same year, the artist lost his father, and perhaps he realised that the authoritarian figure he had portrayed reminded him of his own father, so he changed the title. The picture is dark, evoking a dramatic, tense atmosphere, where the presence of different light sources leads the viewer to seek out and analyse the psychological and emotional complexity of the people depicted.
