Walter Firle was a German painter of the late nineteenth and first third of the twentieth centuries. He is known as a portrait and genre painter.
Firle was the author of a number of genre paintings and paintings on religious themes. Among his famous portraits are depictions of royalty, nobility, and famous personalities, including Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria, Ludwig III (King of Bavaria), and German Reich President Paul von Hindenburg. Several of his works were acquired by the National Gallery of Berlin. A portrait of Ludwig III was featured on a series of Bavarian stamps.

Karl Gussow or Carl Gussow was a German realist painter of the 19th century.
Gussow began his painting studies at the Saxon Art School in Weimar and traveled to Italy. He later worked with the Belgian painter-historian Ferdinand Pauwels, who greatly influenced his style.
Gussow was active as a genre and portrait painter. Over time, his work became characterized by an almost photographic realism, which was not only admired but also criticized, as it was a completely new direction.
Karl Gussow lived in Karlsruhe and Berlin, where he maintained a private ladies' studio, later founding another private painting school. He obtained a position at the Karlsruhe Academy of Fine Arts, also worked at the Prussian Academy of Fine Arts and taught at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts.
