In 1880, he was appointed professor at the Karlsruhe Art School, where he introduced new impulses to landscape painting, particularly in the depiction of light. He also introduced his students, such as Friedrich Kallmorgen, to the new artistic movement of Impressionism. Oil on wooden panel. Signed and dated "Munich 1874". Dimensions: 49 cm x 38 cm. Framed.
