Image: H C Brandt Gräfin Heydeck mit ihren Kindern
Description: 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.
