About the piece
Painted in 1824 by Austrian master Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, this work is a quintessential example of Biedermeier realism. It depicts cartographer Josef Jüttner in his study, surrounded by maps and books, while his wife stands beside him with a vibrant basket of fruit. The painting is celebrated for its luminous light and meticulous attention to material detail, from the sheen of the woman's dress to the intricate lace of her bonnet.
