As an artist, Anton Ebert was particularly skilled in painting the human figure, especially children and young women.
Ebert was born on 6th June 1845 at Kladrau Castle near Mies, Bavaria, home of the noble Windisch-Graetz family, where Anton spent much of his youth as the son of the royal treasurer at Klandrau. Like his elder brother Ludwig (b. 1834), who was also born at Kladrau and went on to make his name as concertmaster to the Grand Duke in Vienna and as first cellist of the Gurzenich Orchestra in Cologne, Anton was born with a strong artistic talent. In recognition of this, he was sent to the Prague Akademie and from there to Vienna, where he studied under the Austrian Romantic painter Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller (1793-1865), whose wide repertoire of subjects included genre scenes, often of young children and their mothers, portraits, landscapes and a few Orientalist scenes. Waldmüller's academic style, his fresh palette as well as his subject matter were all to exert a strong influence on Anton, who throughout his relatively short career painted in a similar traditional manner.
Like Waldmüller, Ebert tended to paint portraits, which provided a staple income as well as genre scenes and a few Orientalist beauties. Ebert enjoyed a thriving portrait practise whose sitters included royalty, aristocracy and society figures. Among them was the American born soprano singer Minnie Hauck (exhibited at the Vienna Künstlerhaus). He also painted a portrait of Sissi-Elizabeth of Wittlesbach, as the young wife of the Emperor Franz Josef I as well as one of Prince Windisch-Graetz, governor of Mainz, whose portrait is now in the Mainz Art Gallery. Added to this Ebert also painted a number of self-portraits including one of 1892, which he gave to the Kaiser's own collection and is now in the Museum of Vienna.
Many of Ebert's genre scenes, especially those of young children were drawn from memories of his own childhood at Kladrau Castle and from contemporary scenes of Windisch-Graetz family as they grew up.
Ebert's ties with Kladrau continued throughout his life and it was probably through the Windisch-Graetz family that he was commissioned to paint an altarpiece for St Peters Church at Kladrau. During the latter part of his life Ebert also painted a number of landscapes predominantly showing scenes around Vienna where he was then living and where he died on 16th June 1896, just before his 51st birthday. It was also in Vienna that he exhibited at its Künstlerhaus as well as at other venues between 1868 and 1888. In addition to those museums mentioned above, Ebert's oeuvre is represented at the Roumianzeff Museum, Moscow with a scene of a mother and her children, and at Stettin Nationalmuseum with a scene entitled "At the Fountain" of 1878.

Circassian beauty
Circassian beauty is a stereotype and a belief referring to the Circassian people. A fairly extensive literary history suggests that Circassian women were thought to be unusually beautiful and attractive, spirited, smart and elegant, and as such were desirable (although most Circassians traditionally refused to marry non-Circassians in accordance with Adyghe Xabze). A smaller but similar literature also exists for Circassian men, who were thought to be especially handsome.
There are folk songs in various languages all around the Middle East and Balkans describing the unusual beauty of Circassian women, a trend popularised after the Circassian genocide, although the reputation of Circassian women dates back to the Late Middle Ages when the Circassian coast was frequented by traders from Genoa, and the founder of the Medici dynasty, Cosimo de' Medici, had an illegitimate son from a Circassian slave, Maddalena. During the Ottoman Empire and Persian Safavid and Qajar dynasties, Circassian women living as slaves in the Sultan's Imperial Harem and Shah's harems started to build their reputation as extremely beautiful, which then became a common trope in Western Orientalism.
