"The Picture Book" (German: "Das Bilderbuch") is a notable work by the Austrian painter Franz Eybl, created in 1840. This oil on panel painting, measuring 43.5 x 35.5 cm, is part of the collection of the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, Austria. The artwork is a genre painting, a form that Eybl excelled in, depicting a domestic scene that captures a moment of everyday life with great attention to detail and emotional subtlety.

In "The Picture Book," Eybl portrays a young girl engrossed in reading a picture book, highlighting the 19th-century interest in childhood innocence and education. The painting is characterized by its fine brushwork and the interplay of light and shadow, which creates a warm, intimate atmosphere. Eybl's skill in rendering textures and materials is evident in the depiction of the fabrics and the book in the child's hands.

Franz Eybl (1806–1880) was a prominent figure in Austrian art during the Biedermeier period, known for his portraits, genre scenes, and still lifes. His work is appreciated for its realistic representation and psychological depth, often reflecting the societal values and domestic life of the middle class during his time.

"The Picture Book" is considered an important example of Eybl's genre paintings and is often cited in discussions of Biedermeier art. It encapsulates the era's focus on the private sphere and the simple pleasures of home and family, themes that were prevalent in the artist's oeuvre. The painting remains a significant piece within the Belvedere's collection, offering insight into the cultural and artistic sensibilities of 19th-century Austria.
