Gabriel Karg (in or before 1570 – between 1630 and 1640)[1] was a Swabian artist who spent his career in Swabia and Württemberg.
The son of a Stuttgart court painter, he is known for portraits of establishment figures of his time and place.
[2] It was probably in 1591 that Karg relocated to Stuttgart where his father had been a court painter since 1588 and was working in the new de:Neues Lusthaus StuttgartLusthaus(theatre and recreation centre), in which Gabriel joined him.
However, there was considerable competition between portrait painters in Tübingen, by 1607 he had moved back to Augsburg.
Two of these are part of the extensive collection at the Professors' Gallery ("Professorengalerie") at the University of Tübingen.
