Provenance: Private Collection. Note: Schäfer studied at the l’Ecole National de Beaux-Arts, Paris. He travelled through Europe and painted town scenes and cathedral interiors in Belgium, Germany, and Northern France. Many of his canvases depict the architecture of gothic cathedrals and churches, as in the present work. His compositions follow the styles of Samuel Prout (1783-1852) and Alfred Montagu (1832-1883).
