Toussaint, Louis - Hermann Friedrich Louis Toussaint, 1826 Königsberg - 1887 Düsseldorf, from 1845 to 1851 Toussaint was a pupil of Ludwig Rosenfelder at the Königsberg Academy of Art, in 1851 he continued his studies at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art, where Theodor Hildebrandt was his most important teacher until around 1852. After beginning with history painting, he switched to entertaining genre painting in the mid-1850s and created numerous depictions of children and families - often using sophisticated lighting effects - which he exhibited in Düsseldorf, Berlin, Bremen, Hanover, Magdeburg and Leipzig and some of which were further disseminated through illustrations in magazines. Toussaint was mainly active in Düsseldorf, where he belonged to the Malkasten artists' association; he is a master of entertaining, humorous genre scenes with a "virtuoso mastery of painting technique" (quote from the Lexikon der Düsseldorfer Maler); the present motif was reproduced on a blackpoint engraving by W. Metzing (cf. in Bötticher no. 15: Künstler, Knabe die Großmutter zeichnend). " Der junge Künstler", oil on canvas, genre-like interior scene with a grandmother and children painting a picture on the door of the house, unsigned, inscribed in the brass plate, on the reverse inscribed in the old adhesive label, stronger retouches, slightly dam. to the frame, c. 44x36cm, margins c. 65x56cm, ref.: Thieme- Becker, Bötticher, Paffrath (ed.), Lexikon der Düsseldorfer Maler, Werke in Museen zum Vergleich: Düsseldorf, Halle a.d.
