Life

Schütze studied in Berlin, where he was a student of August von Kloeber . In 1847/1848 he and Carl Eggers were involved in the execution of the fresco designs by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the vestibule of the Altes Museum .

Later he was a professor at the Royal Art School in Berlin .

Schütze had particular success with his genre pictures , the depiction of scenes from the noble folk life, whereby he preferred naive youthful characters . In the 1840s he was considered one of Berlin's favorite painters . Several of his works were lithographed by others or himself , mostly in folio format , and were thus widely distributed. This included works such as the child with the rabbit, the little reader, the little netter, the fishing children, the slumbering boy with the dog, the girl with the lamb or the question to the stork , the blind man's game or the girl with the squirrel .
