Inscribed to the German dermatologist Alwin Scharlau: "Wär jeder Wunsch so leicht erfüllt | Wie der, den Sie an mich gestellt, | Dann wär mein tiefstes Leid gestillt, | Und Frieden wäre auf der Welt [...]".

A versatile artist, Kögler's career took off in 1867 when he settled in Wiesbaden and became a popular portraitist and illustrator of family magazines such as the "Gartenlaube". He created genre paintings and still lifes and was commissioned with decorating the Ratskeller in Wiesbaden city hall in 1890.

Slightly fingerstained near upper margin. Self-addressed by the collector on the reverse. The Mecklenburg physician Scharlau (b. 1888) assembled a collection of artists' autographs by personal application.
