Adolf Eberle Dackelfamilie

Adolf Eberle (1843—1914) was a German painter who specialized in genre painting, particularly of Bavarian and Tyrolean farmers and huntsmen. Eberle was born in Munich; his father, Robert Eberle, was also a painter. At the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, he studied under Karl von Piloty beginning in 1860. He achieved success the following year with a painting called Pfändung der letzten Kuh (mortgaging the last cow), of which William Unger made an engraving.
