Detail from Portrait of the Mozart Family, c. 1781
This portrait, by Louis Carrogis, known as "Carmontelle", was painted in Paris during the family grand tour. It shows Leopold with his violin, Wolfgang at the keyboard, and Nannerl (perhaps unusually, since her fame was as a keyboardist) singing.
Maria Anna Mozart's piano is not preserved. The maker of her instrument, Johann Evangelist Schmidt, built this instrument (perhaps of heavier construction) 20 years later in 1803.
