Jakob Gauermann a German landscape and genre painter and engraver was born at Oeffingen near Stuttgart in 1773. He at first worked as a stonemason at Hohenheim but his strong inclination for drawing brought him to the knowledge of Duke Charles I of Württemberg who enabled him to receive an education in art. After this he travelled for six years in Switzerland but in 1798 he went to Vienna.
