Life

Adolf Hölterhoff portrayed Robert Römer for the Tübingen Professorengalerie

Adolf Hölterhoff was a son of Franz Daniel Hölterhoff (1798–1842) and his wife Eleonore Hölterhoff, nee. Böcking (1805-1868). In 1881 he painted a portrait of Professor Robert Römer for the Tübingen Professorengalerie . He was related to him because his uncle Eduard Böcking (1802–1870) was the father-in-law of Römers, who had married Thusnelda Böcking (* 1836) around 1860. From 1861 at the latest until at least 1870 Hölterhoff was in Paris, where he was a student of Léon Cogniet , Thomas Couture and probably Sébastien Melchior Cornu .
