Pauline and Julius Hübner had 8 children, of which Martin was the youngest. He was
born on the 1st of January 1846, so he had just turned 3 years old when his father made
this delicate drawing of him. Unlike his older brother Edouard, who became a painter,
Martin did not choose to follow in his father’s footsteps and became a banker instead.
Little is known about his life, making this small drawing an all the more interesting object
that documents Hübner’s youngest son.
