Toby Edward (also: Eduard ) Rosenthal (born March 15, 1848 in New Haven , Connecticut , † December 23, 1917 in Munich ) was an American genre and portrait painter.

Rosenthal went to Munich to attend the academy in 1865 , initially educated in Karl Raupp's studio , and from 1868 in the Pilotys school . After he had painted some genre pictures, of which Sebastian Bach and his family were bought by the city museum in Leipzig at morning devotion (1870), he interrupted his work for a short time by a trip home.

After returning to Munich, he painted Alfred Tennyson's The Beautiful Elaine (1874) and a few humorous genre pictures, such as: Whoever laughs last, laughs best (two counterparts) and Das alarmierte Mädchenpensionat (1877), which in 1883 The court over the Escaped nun Constance de Beverley based on Walter Scott's "Marmion" ( Los Angeles County Museum of Art ) and in 1887 a dance lesson from our grandmothers followed, in which he followed the soft elegance of the salon painters.

Rosenthal died in 1917 at the age of 69. The family grave is located in Munich's north cemetery .
