He studied with his father and at the Kunstschule Stuttgart (1860-1863) where Bernard von Neher and Heinrich Funk were his teachers. After his father died in 1864 he took over his business. In 1873 he sold it an moved to Munich where he studied painting at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste under Alexander Wagner and Wilhelm Diez.
