Portrait of Baroness Reinthal with her daughter.

Painted in 1825 during Bryullov's Italian years, this double portrait of Baroness Reinthal and her daughter represents an early commission that demonstrates his ability to satisfy Western European patrons. The work now resides in the National Museum in Warsaw, suggesting a connection to Polish or Central European aristocracy, who formed part of the international clientele Bryullov attracted during his decade in Italy. The early 1820s to mid-1830s Italian period was formative for Bryullov: he refined his portrait technique by studying Raphael, Titian, and contemporary Roman and Neapolitan painters, absorbing their approach to representing luxury textiles and aristocratic bearing. Double portraits of this type served both sentimental and social functions, affirming family bonds and securing visual legacies. The relative restraint of the composition compared to Bryullov's later Russian ceremonial portraits suggests he was still developing his characteristic grand-manner style.

The composition shows Bryullov's still-developing mastery of double portraiture, with the two figures linked by gesture and shared light source. The technique reflects his Italian academic training, with careful underdrawing, smooth blending in the faces, and more summary treatment of drapery and background.
