Family Silhouette With Interior, Alsace, Early 19th Century – The Eckel Family
A traditional Alsatian silhouette depicting a bourgeois interior scene with four figures in Louis XVI-era costumes: a gentleman, two ladies, and a child with a dog on a leash, set in a parlor featuring a mirror, a console table, and chairs. Silhouettes cut from black paper and applied to a hand-drawn background. The work retains five original handwritten labels in French on the reverse, documenting its genealogical provenance, which is linked to the Eckel family of Alsace:
• Emmanuel Sébastien Joseph Eckel (1749–1794)
• Marie Cléophé Eckel, née Otto (1750–1837), his wife
• Sébastien Emmanuel Eckel (1782–1853), son
• Cléophé Wegelin, née Eckel, daughter
• portrait of an uncle, Bibenhoffer
