Friedrich Julius Ludwig Sebbers was a German painter of the first half of the nineteenth century. He is known as a portrait painter, porcelain artist and lithographer.
Ludwig Sebbers created portraits on porcelain and canvas, depicting members of ruling dynasties, cultural figures, and scholars. His lithographs for books became popular in 1835-1836. One of the artist's most famous works was a portrait of Johann Wolfgang Goethe for translation onto porcelain. Sebbers' pencil version of Goethe's portrait was later used for commemorative coins issued in Germany in 1932 in honor of the centenary of the poet's death.
