Watercolour with peonies
The work of a teacher pioneer
This watercolour with peonies was created by Jakob Sotriffer between 1822-24 during his time as a student at the Vienna Academy, where a state-awarded grant allowed him to train as a drawing teacher and sculptor. Sotriffer came from Plajes farm in St. Ulrich and was taken on as the first teacher at the new drawing school in 1825.
