A picture like a template for a tableau vivant: the five girls in the foreground are cleverly arranged in two groups, the friend is shown as the viewer. The background between the plant and the curtain is like a stage for the five portrait miniatures. Johann heusinger grew up largely in the family of konrad heusinger, his stepbrother who was 17 years older than him. The picture testifies to his sympathy for the people depicted and at the same time celebrates his craft, painting portrait miniatures. Object Type: Family portrait. Date: 1837.
