Beckenkamp, Kaspar Benedikt (attr.)

Description:

Ehrenbreitstein 1747 - Köln 1828
Portrait of a family in an upper-class interior during a leisure hour. Oil/canvas, relined.
Kaspar Benedikt Beckenkamp succeeded in extolling the value of family in his portraits. With his idealised view of mother, father and children, ensconced in Biedermeier beauty and cosiness, he became a pioneer of the Rhineland family image.
