H C Brandt Gräfin Heydeck mit ihren Kindern
Summary
Deutsch: Gräfin Maria Joseph Heydeck (1748–1771) mit ihren und des Kurfürsten Karl Theodor von der Pfalz legitmierten Kindern. Karoline Josepha ganz links an der Seite ihrer Mutter. An der Wand ein Bildnis des Vaters, Kurfürst Karl Theodor. Ölgemälde, 1785English: The painting is historically inaccurate since the mother of the twins (* 1771) died shortly after the birth from puerperal fever. It is also improbable that the mistress of a prince-elector would bear her children in a "chambre verte", the room for childbirth traditionally reserved for the higher ranks of nobility.
