The very young prodigy on the threshold of legend: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at 6 years old

This portrait of Mozart as a child, attributed to his father Leopold Mozart, or to an artist close to his circle, depicts Wolfgang at the age of 6, around the year 1762, a period when he began his first tours in Europe. This intimate and precious work offers one of the earliest visual testimonies of the young genius, while he was already astonishing princely courts with his exceptional gift.

A rare image of the childhood of the world's most famous composer

The child at the harpsichord, between innocence and discipline

In this portrait, the young Mozart is depicted standing or sitting at the harpsichord, dressed in a child's outfit of the Austrian nobility, often blue or garnet, adorned with gold braid, according to the tradition of well-born children of the 18th century. He poses seriously, a sheet of music in hand or fingers on the keyboard, in an attitude both focused and composed.

His gaze is focused but gentle, his round cheeks, his calm expression: everything in this work conveys the astonishing maturity of the young boy, already capable of composing, playing, and improvising before crowned heads. He is framed by a sober setting, sometimes accompanied by a curtain or a music stand, in a simple yet evocative pictorial style.

A family portrait with historical overtones

It is likely that this portrait was commissioned or created by Leopold Mozart himself, either as an intimate keepsake or to accompany letters of recommendation intended for European patrons. At that time, the Mozart family was preparing for their first tour in Germany, France, and England, where Wolfgang would be acclaimed as a musical phenomenon.
