A copy of the expertise, by Prof Dr Rupert Feuchtmüller, 12 April 1992, is available. Prof Rupert Feuchtmüller thus writes in his expertise: (...) “According to current knowledge, it is in this painting, reproduced here, that one finds the first execution of this theme. Personally, I regard this as one of Waldmüller’s most convincing child portraits. The plasticity of the group, enhanced by the sunlight, also inspired the interest of contemporary art critics. Thus, on the occasion of the Dresden exhibition in 1861, the ‘Breslauer Zeitung’ wrote the following about the painting ‘Kinder, welche Bilder betrachten’ [Children Contemplating Pictures]: “Here it is real sunlight, which shines on these, for the most part, ever so charming, young creatures, and the whole representation is of such a kind that we can hardly name a picture in the whole exhibition, ,which we would rather possess.” (From the certificate of Professor Rupert Feuchtmüller, 12 April 1992)
