Academic artist Anton Petter was the son of an architect and a cousin to Franz Xaver Petter. Petter is known for his history and religious subjects. Here we see a group portrait of children from a wealthy family, rendered with a Classical sensibility, fine detail, and in all likelihood an Italian landscape as background.
