Today, we look at a German artist who specialised in animal and hunting scenes. #CarlvonDombrowski (1872-1951) studied at the art Institutes in both Vienna and Munich. Many of his works were produced as woodcuts for Die Gartenlaube (The Garden Arbor – Illustrated Family Journal). It was the first successful mass-circulation German newspaper and paved the way for all modern magazines. The magazine aimed to reach all members of a family by providing articles on current events, biographies, short stories, poetry, essays on science ,history, etc, and full page illustrations.

Dombrowski worked in watercolour and oil. The above piece is done with charcoal, watercolour, and body colour and is a fine example of his work. It is undated, but I would date to @ 1920.
