English: The painting is described thus: "Ludwig van Beethoven was recognized as a child prodigy. He worked at the age of 13 as organist, pianist/harpsichordist and violist at the court in Bonn, and had published three early piano sonatas. This portrait in oils is the earliest authenticated likeness of Beethoven."

Licensing
Author's note: while I license the use of my photograph of this painting under GFDL and cc-by-sa-2.5, the painting itself is more than 225 years old, the artist must have been dead well over 100 years, and hence the painting itself is surely in the public domain.
