1864 — 1934. A German physician and self-taught watercolourist. He came to Mexico in 1890 to administer the estate of an uncle who had been secretary to Maximilian of Habsburg, and worked as resident doctor at the hospital of the Promontorio mine in Durango. He painted with no professional ambition and never exhibited in public: watercolours of Mexican rural, urban and natural landscape. He is counted, with August Löhr, among the last foreign painters to arrive in Mexico at the end of the nineteenth century. The SURA Collection holds his watercolour «El Canal de la Viga».
