Portrait of the Mozart Family

Portrait of the Mozart Family is an oil painting of four members of the Mozart family created between late 1780 and early 1781 and traditionally attributed to Johann Nepomuk della Croce. The painting depicts in the foreground the siblings Wolfgang Amadeus and Maria Anna "Marianne" Mozart together playing a fortepiano, and their father Leopold holding a violin. In the background, the recently deceased mother Anna Maria is depicted in a framed portrait alongside a sculpture of Apollo playing a lyre. The painting was considered by Marianne to have the most authentic portrait of her brother and has inspired further depictions of the artist. It is currently kept in the Tanzmeisterhaus museum in Salzburg, Austria.
