Note
Notes: Schmitt was the first teacher of Frank Duveneck. Together with William Lamprecht and under Fr. Cosmas Wolf, O.S.B., these artists formed the Catholic Art Studio in Covington around 1862. They designed churches and altars, and painted frescoes and murals for churches throughout Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Quebec. At the urgings of his three companion artists, Duveneck went to study art in Munich in 1870. All of these artists studied in Munich and Duveneck won the grand prize after several years of hard work, just as Lamprecht had won the prize almost a decade earlier.
There is other writing on the reverse of the canvas, but it is not legible.
