"Ludwig Karl Strauch was born on the 11th of July, 1875 in Vienna as the eldest child of master meerschaum turner Josef Strauch and his wife, Elisabeth. He had two siblings: Felix, who would also paint to a lesser extent, and Emilia, who died in early adulthood. Driven by the desire to become a painter, Ludwig Karl, only 15 years old and destined for a technical career, voluntarily exchanged his studies at the State Trade School for the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in 1890. As a guest student, he received instruction from Professors August Eisenmenger, who headed the master class in historical painting; Christian Griepenkerl, who specialized in allegorical representations using ancient mythology and portrait painting; and Rudolf Carl Huber, who primarily taught his students animal painting. Only in his last year of training - 1898/99 - did Straunch become a regular student at the academy in order to obtain a degree." - translated from introduction. VG, minor wear at corners of wraps .
