About the piece
Painted in 1837 by Friedrich von Amerling, this masterpiece depicts Rudolf von Arthaber, a prominent Austrian industrialist and art patron, with his three children. The work is a quintessential example of Biedermeier portraiture, celebrated for its domestic intimacy, masterful handling of light, and meticulous rendering of diverse textures, from the silk of the dresses to the heavy wood of the furniture.
