Authenticity will be confirmed in writing.
Encouraged by the history painter and engraver Feodor Iwanowitsch Kalmück and the sculptor Johann Christian Lotsch (1790–1873), Ernst Schweinfurth began his apprenticeship in Karl Ludwig Frommel's studio in 1832, where he learned engraving, etching and drawing.
Schweinfurth initially worked in Karlsruhe, then in Freiburg im Breisgau and later in Munich. In 1871 he became a member of the Munich Art Association. He belonged to the circle of friends of Count Adolf Friedrich von Schack, who acquired two of Schweinfurth's works for his collection.
Around 1845 he settled in Baden-Baden. In addition to genre and landscape paintings, he also created portraits.
On behalf of the Austrian Lloyd, Schweinfurth traveled to Dalmatia, Montenegro and Albania in 1852, after which he settled in Rome, where he stayed for the rest of his life. He often went on study trips through Italy. Several depictions of Italian costumes and scenes from folk life were published as lithographs and etchings by the Roman Spithöver publishing house.
He was elected chairman of the German Artists' Association in Rome.
On behalf of Baron von Uexküll, Schweinfurth created large murals for his Fickel Castle in Estonia, which he himself brought to their destination in 1876. On this occasion he also visited Sweden and Norway and also made a trip to Saint Petersburg. This piece has an attribution mark,
