"Johann Strauss the Elder 1804-49" is a lithograph portrait created by Austrian artist Josef Nikolaus Kriehuber in 1846. The artwork depicts the renowned Austrian composer and conductor Johann Strauss I, who was a pivotal figure in the development of Viennese waltz music in the 19th century. Kriehuber, known for his portraiture, was one of the most sought-after lithographers in Vienna during his time, and his works were instrumental in documenting the cultural and social elite of the era.

The lithograph presents Strauss in a half-length pose, capturing both his likeness and the essence of his stature within the musical community. Strauss is portrayed with a confident gaze, possibly reflecting his success as the founder of the Strauss musical dynasty, which would include his sons Johann Strauss II, Josef Strauss, and Eduard Strauss, all of whom became significant composers and conductors in their own right.

Kriehuber's lithograph is not only an important visual document of Johann Strauss I's appearance but also serves as a historical artifact that reflects the artistic and cultural milieu of mid-19th century Vienna. The portrait is one of many that Kriehuber produced of notable figures of his time, contributing to our understanding of the period's aesthetics and the prominence of lithography as a medium for portraiture.

This lithograph is held in various art collections and has been the subject of exhibitions and scholarly research, emphasizing its value in the study of Viennese art history and 19th-century European music culture. The piece is representative of Kriehuber's skill in lithography and his ability to capture the personalities of his subjects, making it a significant work in the oeuvre of the artist and a testament to the legacy of Johann Strauss I.
