An Elegant Company
by JANNECK, Franz Christoph, Oil on panel, 40 x 52 cm
This painting shows an elegant company, with figures playing musical instruments and merrymaking in an interior. Janneck’s oeuvre consists of cabinet pictures of conversation pieces, as well as a smaller number of landscapes and religious subjects. His interior scenes, such as the present work, are considered his finest achievements and remain among the greatest examples of the Austrian Rococo.
