Johann Georg Meyer: The Love Token, 1873

Johann Meyer (1813-1886) was a German painter who specialised in Biblical, peasant and family scenes. He studied at the Dusseldorf Academy of Art, and became associated with the Dusseldorf school of painting. In 1841 he moved to Berlin and opened his own studio as his fame increased. While scenes from the Bible were first the subjects of his brush, he later turned his attention to the portrayal of family life, choosing especially scenes from child life, which he rendered with spirited humour.
