Josef Höger frequently accompanied Prince Alois II on his travels and was employed as his children's art teacher. In addition to numerous landscapes, he also recorded in detail the private living quarters of the Liechtenstein family in the Palais Rasumofsky. This neoclassical building in Vienna's Landstrasse served as the Liechtenstein family's temporary home from 1838 while the City Palace in Bankgasse was being modernized. The interior views, which he produced in great number, convey the taste and opulence of the Biedermeier period in all its colorfulness.
