"Umkreis Bildnis Kaiser Joseph II" is an 18th-century oil painting attributed to the Bohemian-Austrian painter Joseph Hickel (1736–1807), who was renowned for his portraits of European nobility and royalty. The painting is a portrait of Emperor Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire, who reigned from 1765 to 1790. As a member of the Habsburg dynasty, Joseph II was known for his enlightened absolutist reforms and attempts to modernize the empire's complex system of governance.

The term "Umkreis" in the title of the painting suggests that the work is from the circle or school of Joseph Hickel, indicating that while it may not be directly by Hickel's hand, it is closely associated with his style and may have been produced by one of his contemporaries or students under his influence. Hickel served as a court painter to the Habsburgs and was particularly favored by Joseph II, which afforded him numerous opportunities to paint the emperor's likeness.

The painting captures Joseph II in regal attire, reflecting his status and the formality of the imperial court. Hickel's portraits are characterized by their detailed representation of fabrics and textures, as well as the lifelike depiction of his subjects. The "Umkreis Bildnis Kaiser Joseph II" would likely exhibit these qualities, presenting the emperor with a dignified and realistic presence.

As a historical artifact, the painting not only represents the artistic skill of Hickel and his workshop but also serves as a visual document of the period, offering insights into the representation of power and the aesthetics of portraiture in the late 18th century. The exact location and ownership of the painting may vary, and it could be housed in a museum collection or remain in private hands. Its provenance and exhibition history contribute to its significance and can provide further context for its interpretation.

The "Umkreis Bildnis Kaiser Joseph II" by Joseph Hickel is an important work for scholars studying the Habsburg monarchy, European portraiture, and the cultural milieu of the Enlightenment. Its attribution to Hickel's circle underscores the collaborative nature of artistic production during the period and the dissemination of stylistic approaches among artists working within close proximity to one another.
