| Note: | This painting appears to be of the same scene that is depicted in Austrian artist Josef Willroider's "Lakeside View in Upper Bavaria". Willroider was a contemporary of Schafer who lived in Dusseldorf from 1866 to 1886 and is associated with the Dusseldorf School of painting. Painting of this scene may possibly be an exercise that both artists were assigned when they were students. |
