[1] At the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, he studied under Karl von Piloty beginning in 1860.

[1][2] He achieved success the following year with a painting called Pfändung der letzten Kuh (mortgaging the last cow),[3] of which William Unger made an engraving.

[1] After spending some time depicting soldiers in the Thirty Years' War and the Seven Years' War, he returned to subjects from Bavarian and Tyrolean peasant life.

[4] At the 1879 international exposition in Munich, his Erster Rehbock (first stag) was well received.

[1] A painting of his with the translated title Childhood Fun was sold for $16,800 at Bonhams in San Francisco in 2007,[5] and another with the translated title The Day's Bag for £7,500 at Christie's in London in 2012.
