Typical Biedermeier portraits from the 1840's or thereabouts, some notable for their sensitivity or painterly quality.

This is what he was best at, very austere portraits in the manner of his master Ingres; the sitters preferably dressed in black. This is Mme Louis Antoine Cambourg, if that is any help.

View of the Eschtal. An artist from Hamburg who painted in a pleasantly naive style; his best work dates from the 1830s-40s.

hongi kindly pointed to me to this retrospective exhibition of works by this Australian artist:

There are pages of good images which are worth looking through. His work seems highly enjoyable, if sometimes a bit too self-conscious. I have picked out just three pictures that appealed to me in different ways. Firstly this 'Equestrian Portrait of a Boy' from 1905, an Edwardian bravura piece which reminds me of Lavery and Orpen.
