EDUARD GAERTNER. The Family of Mr. Westfal in the Conservatory

The Family of Mr. Westfal in the Conservatory. Artist: Eduard Gaertner (German, Berlin 1801-1877 Zechlin). Dimensions: 9 3/8 x 7 7/8 in. (23.8 x 20 cm). Date: 1836. This light-filled conservatory belonged to the prosperous Berlin wool merchant Christian Carl Westphal, a passionate horticulturist. The stark glass structure here serves as a Biedermeier day-room for his family. Gaertner was the preeminent painter of Berlin's grand new boulevards, but this is one of only four interior scenes he is known to have painted; it may have been owned by Westfal, who was his landlord.
