Emperor Joseph II With Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo Of Tuscany 

This painting by Pompeo Batoni depicts Emperor Joseph II and Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo of Tuscany. The figures stand in an indoor setting, perhaps a grand hall. The emperor stands in a formal pose with his right hand resting on a table, while the grand duke stands at a slightly more casual angle, extending his left hand toward the emperor. Both men are dressed in luxurious clothing, their attire reflecting their high social standing. The background hints at a classical setting. This portrait likely reflects the close relationship between the two rulers, who were brothers. This piece is a prime example of the Neoclassical style, which was popular in Europe during the 18th century.
