BIOGRAPHY: Otto Wustlich was born in 1819 at Pfaffendorf in Lower Bavaria. He studied at the Schmidt Art Institute in Bamberg and was employed for several years painting figural compositions and portraits at the Schmidt porcelain manufactory there. In 1842 he exhibited in Mainz with "Mona Lisa" after Leonardo and "Adam and Eva" and by 1845 was working independently and exhibiting in Munich, where his "Madonna" after Raphael was acquired by the Bavarian King Ludwig. The portrait of Prince Consort Albert for the famous Jewel-Cabinet, made in 1854 for Queen Victoria, is among his best works. He died in 1886 at Schoenberg in Lower Bavaria.
