Leon Pohle

Friedrich Leon Pohle (1 December 1841, Leipzig – 27 February 1908, Dresden) was a German painter.

Pohle began attending the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts when he was only fifteen years old.

Pohle's early work tended to be genre pieces and rather derivative.

Among his best known portraits are those of his fellow artists Ludwig Richter, Carl Gottlieb Peschel and Ernst Hähnel.

A street in Dresden has been named the "Leon-Pohle-Straße" in his honor.
