He was greatly influenced by the Roman painting of the early nineteenth-century and Biedermeier style. This particular painting depicts a dapper man, fashionable woman and young boy, with a distant view of a village atop a mountain. The child presents his father with a tarot card with an allegorical representation of America, which is particularly relevant because some 47 million people entered the United States between 1820 and 1947. <B>Condition Report:</B> surface dirt, craquelure throughout, relined, scattered strengthening to margins and spots through canvas - review images online<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>) <BR><BR><B>Important notice:<
