A student at the Vienna academy Waldmüller’s earliest artisitc occupation was dedicated to portrait painting which also granted him a living. After 1811 he was active as a painter of miniatures. (Comp. Bruno Grimschitz, Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, Salzburg 1957, S. 30). It was the painter’s principle to paint his model as lifelike as possible and to do it justice with the careful depiction of every detail. (Sabine Grabner, Mehr als Biedermeier, Klassizismus, Romantik und Realismus in der Österreichischen Galerie Belvedere, Vienna-Munich 2006, p. 100).

A student at the Vienna academy Waldmüller’s earliest artisitc occupation was dedicated to portrait painting which also granted him a living. After 1811 he was active as a painter of miniatures. Thus he learned to approach reality with a close perspective and to paint with a detailed precision. He practised the sharpness and the forcefulness of his eye and above all learned to exercise patience. Waldmüller’s models appear particularly uninvolved with the painter, who denies his subjectivity of perception thus, that the figures depicted appear in their own specific personality and active independance (Comp. Bruno Grimschitz, Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, Salzburg 1957, S. 30, 42). Painting portraits was Waldmüller‘s preference throughout his entire life and there is no doubt that he accomplished his most significant achievements besides landscape painting in portraits. It was the painter’s principle to paint his model as lifelike as possible and to do it justice with the careful depiction of every detail.
