Adolph Friedrich Vollmer

[3] Determined to become a painter against the wishes of his father,[4] he became an apprentice to the Suhr brothers who owned a graphic workshop producing panorama prints.

[1] Probably on Rumohr's advice [2] Vollmer completed his studies under Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.

Figures in his drawings and etchings are often minute, only millimetres in size; nevertheless, by use of very fine lines he is able to render vivid depictions of people at work and leisure.
