<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Betty Boop, post: 2879952, member: 10913&quot;]Following moreotherstuff&#039;s suggestion, I searched Biedermeier art and found this strikingly similar family portrait. It&#039;s like this is the dark and twisted version of the Biedermeier. It makes me wonder if my friend&#039;s painting is some sort of political, economic or even religious statement in the bizarre differences. And in that case, is that why the figures are obviously distorted? It does look like the little boy is reading scripture, over an apparently pregnant child, dead baby, and was this an incest situation? So many questions!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Familie_im_Vestibül_Biedermeier_c1840.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Familie_im_Vestibül_Biedermeier_c1840.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Familie_im_Vestibül_Biedermeier_c1840.jpg</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
