Portrait of Dr Johann Reinhold Forster and his son George Forster
Description
English: A man in a hat with a Forstera sedifolia on the brim holds a New Zealand bellbird. A younger man is depicted drawing.
According to the letters of
Therese Huber[1], the painting was inherited by Carl Forster after the 1804 death of Justina Forster, the widow of Johann Reinhold Forster, and then given to JRF's granddaughter Iphigenie Alberthal (1789-1864). In 1982, the painting was owned by Peter Rheinberger, Vaduz, Liechtenstein.[2]
Photographic reproduction published in 1976.[3] Another colour reproduction was published in 1981.[4]
