"Franz Eybl (austrian, 1806-1889) Two Family Portraits"
A pair of portraits of the Biedermeier family was executed c. 1830-1840 in a style and quality very close to that of the renowned Viennese portraitist Franz Eybl (1806-1887). Franz Eybl was an Austrian painter and lithographer born in Vienna in 1806. He was one of the leading genre painters and a very popular portraitist in Viennese society circles. Literature: Prof. H.
