Der stille Garten : deutsche Maler des ersten und zweiten Drittels des 19. Jahrhunderts
Der stille Garten is a 1900 art book published in Königstein im Taunus by K.R. Langewiesche, collecting portraits by German painters of the first and second thirds of the 19th century for a general readership of art lovers. The plates are reproduced as halftone prints with a caption beneath each, and they show individual sitters in quiet, close-cropped poses with dark backgrounds, offering a designer a clear reference for Biedermeier-era portrait lighting, tonal range and restrained composition.
