You are rich. You don't just live in a house, but rather you have a compound of buildings all in the classical style. Your yard is perfectly manicured, with a pool. Most of your days are spent taking your adorable, tow-headed children with you to pleasant garden parties and other outings. Perhaps croquet or badminton is to be played on the lawn.One way you can tell the people are upper class (as though there weren't plenty) is that the men are wearing somewhat girlish colors (yellow, baby blue, lavender). This is a kind of upper crust privilege; regular men of the proletariat wear much more macho tones.
The pair on the left are clearly a couple. The woman on the left may be a bit more youthful and free-spirited than the one on the right; we can tell because she has gone out with her head uncovered. Is the woman on the right married to the slightly elderly gentleman? Perhaps she is a youthful grandmother to the two boys. Or perhaps she is the gentleman's daughter, and her husband is out practicing his remunerative but respectable profession.

Hah, nice. The color combos on the men are classic - canary yellow and light blue?
The ones I notice a lot are the print ads in The Economist for Patek Phillipe watches ("You never actually own a Patek Phillipe. You merely look after it for the next generation.") with the black-and-white portraits of rich, arrogant-looking fathers and sons.
Wow, yeah. I looked up those Patek Phillipe ads. I was impressed.
