About the Item

oil on canvas no signature restored condition piece 47 x 55 cm The Biedermeier era emphasized the domestic, bourgeois, middle‑class life: comfortable, inward‑facing rather than grandiose public spectacle. In portraits of couples from this time you’ll often find: the husband and wife shown together (or as pendants) in rather understated but refined dress, with subtle details of their domesticity or status (interior setting, furniture, personal items. The style tends towards realism and clarity, modest elegance rather than monumental drama. For example, one pair of double portraits describes the style as “Pendants Portraits de l’époque Biedermeier” wherein the couple are portrayed in complementary frames. Very skillful painting style; the photos don't even begin to capture the beauty of the painting. Skillful brushwork with impressive creative power.
