After a painting by Wilhelm Kray (1828-1889)
Wilhelm Kray was a German portrait, genre, and landscape painter as well as illustrator. Wilhelm Kray's style is characteristic of German salon and exhibition painting of the mid to late 19th century, concentrating on romanticized themes from history, mythology, and allegory. His major works include Psyche with a Butterfly on the Lakeshore , Allegory of Winter, Southerner as an Allegory of Music, The Mermaid, The Boatman and the Mermaids, and The Myth of the Loreley, which were widely copied and reproduced during his lifetime, with Psyche being replicated on the serving dishes of the Royal Vienna China Company around 1889. Kray's public paintings still adorn the walls of the Cologne Museum and the Museum Gratz.
