LANGENTHAL, Switzerland, (Maggini-Stiftung) - A hotel by the side of Lake Thun the Maggini-Foundation, of Langenthal in Switzerland, has discovered two previously unknown Mozart pictures - a rare double miniature painted on ivory.

Wolfgang is portrayed on one side, seated, and his sister Nannerl (Marianna) on the other.

The two children were both painted in water-colour (Guoache) by the same unknown but highly accomplished artist c. 1768.

The paintings have been examined by experts in the fields of art, music, history and science to confirm their authenticity.

This discovery brings new images of the child prodigies into the public view in time for the 250th anniversary celebrations of Mozart's birth on the 27th January 2006.
