A friend of the artist is examining Spitzweg's latest painting, for which servant Johann is just presenting the broom, pardon, the musket as a model. Was the famous picture of the town guard supposed to be painted here? Franz Carl Spitzweg (also obsolete: Karl Spitzweg; * 5 February 1808 in Unterpfaffenhofen; 23 September 1885 in Munich) was a well-known German late Romantic painter. Carl Spitzweg created over 1500 paintings and drawings. Spitzweg depicted people in their contemporary bourgeois milieu.
