Carl Wilhelm Tischbein

A Portrait of Three Siblings

Oil on canvas (relined). 58 x 73 cm.

Carl Wilhelm Tischbein was first taught to paint by his father Friedrich Tischbein (1750-1812), the so-called "Leipziger Tischbein", and following his father's death by Ferdinand Hartmann in Dresden, where he made acquaintance with Anton Graff. Following stays in Rome (1816-1818), Bonn, Leipzig, Frankfurt and Brussels, he became court painter in Bückeburg under Duke Georg Wilhelm von Schaumburg-Lippe in 1829 as the successor of Wilhelm Strack. The present work can probably be dated to the 1840s.
