LinkThe print is one of the earliest examples of photography in Bavaria. The daguerreotype was taken at the home of the Swiss composer Max Keller, whom Constanze used to visit regularly.
Mozart and Constanze had six children in their nine-year marriage. Only two of them survived past childhood.
The daguerreotype shows Constanze at front left, next to Max Keller. His wife Josefa is on the right. Behind them are (from the right): their daughters Josefa and Luise, Max Keller's brother-in-law Philipp Lattner and the family's cook. They are outside the Keller family's house.
