Joseph Einsle (1774-1829) "Portrait of Anton Loeffler as a child", fine Miniature, 1813

According to an authentic legend on verso, it is a child portrait of Anton Loeffler (1811-1886) at the age of two, painted in 1813 by Joseph Einsle. It is an absolutely typical and authentic work of this well known German miniaturist.

Joseph Bernhard Einsle (1774 Goeggingen - 1829 Augsburg) was a well known portrait miniaturist in South Germany with many commissions from the local middle class. His first dated miniature of the King of Wuerttemberg is from 1803, although already in 1796 his name was mentioned in books as "Mahler (Maler., i.e. "artist") in Augsburg". In 1806 Einsle married in his native town Goeggingen and from 1810 lived in Constanz by the Lake Bodensee). In 1817 he moved to Augsburg, where he lived - apart from short stays in Munich and Frankfurt a.M. - until his death in 1829.
