Portrait of the Brothers Konrad and Franz Eberhard c. 1822

"Portrait of the Brothers Konrad and Franz Eberhard" is a drawing by Johann Anton Alban Ramboux, created in 1822 and currently held at the Art Institute of Chicago. This work is an example of a portrait, specifically a double portrait of two brothers, and depicts them in a realistic style, capturing their individual features and expressions. The graphite drawing reflects a close resemblance to the style of German Renaissance artists, particularly Albrecht Dürer, whom Ramboux studied. The brothers, Konrad and Franz Eberhard, are presented in a simple yet elegant manner, their attire reflecting the fashions of the time. The artwork's fine detailing and realistic representation of the brothers' faces provide a glimpse into their lives and the artistic sensibilities of the early 19th century.
