Emanuel Thomas Peter (1799 Jaegerndorf – 1873 Vienna) was a renowned 19th-century Austrian portrait miniaturist. Beginning in 1818, he studied at the Vienna Academy, first architecture and then miniature painting under the famous Moritz Michael Daffinger. He copied numerous miniatures by Daffinger with such artistic mastery that it is often impossible to distinguish the copies from the originals. After a stay in Silesia, Peter returned to Vienna in 1830 and became one of the city’s most prominent miniaturists. His finest works were created between 1830 and 1850.
