The newly discovered black and white image is the only photograph ever taken of Constanze Mozart, the widow of the Austrian composer and genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The previously unknown print was discovered in archives in the
southern German town of Altotting, local authorities said on Friday, and has now been authenticated as including Mrs Mozart, on the far left.
The long-lost photograph was taken in October 1840, when Constanze Weber was 78 years old, at Max Keller's home. The Altotting state archive said it was the only time in her life that she was photographed.
