László married Lucy Guinness of Stillorgan, County Dublin (1900). She was a member of the banking branch of the Guinness family and a sister of Henry Guinness. They first met in Munich (1892), but for some years had were forbidden to see each other by the Guinness, presumably because of László's Jewish origins. The couple finally married, porobanly because László was becoming successful. It proved a sucessful marriage. They had six children and eventually 17 grandchildren. We do not know of any family portrait with all the kids. There is a self portrait with Lucy and we think their eldest son, Henry. And by the the time the grandkids arrived, László was slowing down. He did not paint them like he did his sons. László became a British subject (1914). They had six sons raised as British biys. László painted them extensively. Other than the many portraits, however, we know virtually nothing about the boys.
