The Family of Mr. Westfal in the Conservatory is an early 19th-century painting by German artist Eduard Gaertner. The painting depicts a conservancy owned by Christian Carl Westphal and his family. A wealthy Berlin merchant known for his love of horticulture, Westphal was also Gaertner's landlord. The small painting is one of only four interior scenes painted by Gaertner.[1][2] It was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2007, and remains in the museum's collection.[3]
