Heinrich Werner 1835

Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller's 1835 painting "Heinrich Werner" portrays a young boy, likely a member of a wealthy family, dressed in a dark brown frock coat and white collar, seated against a green backdrop. He holds a domino in his hand, suggesting a moment of quiet play or contemplation. Waldmüller, a prominent Austrian painter of the Biedermeier period, is known for his realistic depictions of everyday life, capturing the innocence and charm of childhood in this intimate portrait.
