Anton Kaulbach

Wilhelm Anton Kaulbach (8 August 1864, Hanover - 23 April 1934, Berlin) was a German portrait painter.

He became deaf while still a small child, and attended a special deaf-mute school in Hildesheim.

In 1888 he had his first showing at a major venue; displaying his painting "Two Chess Players" at an exhibition in the Glaspalast.

Their daughter, Gisela, would become a sort of conservator for his works, and helped identify many whose authorship was in question.

After 1901, he lived in Berlin and was named an honorary member of "Hufeisen Kunst und Handwerk" (Horseshoe Arts and Crafts), a deaf-mute society founded by Heinrich Fick [de].
