Biography
Polish-German painter and illustrator. He worked mainly with etchings and was a sought-after book illustrator. He made illustrations for a calendar published by the Berlin Academy of Arts and Sciences, after which he very quickly gained fame and the numerous commissions that followed. He created more than 2,000 engravings, many genre scenes of bourgeois life - usually in ink and pen - and several oil paintings.
