Biography
His father worked as a colorist. Although his family was very poor, he gained the approval of Veit Hanns Schnorr von Carolsfeld, who accepted him as his student at the Academy of Fine Arts. Later, he worked in the studio of copper engraver Henry Winkles and took lessons from Carl Werner and Lazarus Gottlieb Sichling, who became his friend and supported him after his father's death. He was best known for his portraits, especially those of musicians, including Franz Schubert, Robert Franz, and August Wilhelm Ambros.
