At the Großherzoglich Badischen Kunstschule in Karlsruhe, Dischler was a master pupil of Gustav Schönleber (1851 - 1917), who paid particular attention to the study of nature by his pupils. Here the fascination for the Altrhein was sparked and open-air painting was introduced to the young artist. Like his professor, Hermann Dischler undertook numerous «Studienreisen mit Malkasten (study trips with paintbox)», during which he painted what he saw on site.
Here we see a rare early work from Dischler's student days in Karlsruhe before 1900, characterised by the rarely found addition of "Krlsrhe" under his artist's signature.
Provenance: private collection Northern Black Forest.
