Johann Friedrich Peyer

Johann Friedrich Peyer

Very little is known about the Schaffhausen painter Johann Friedrich Peyer. In a genealogy he is mentioned as a skillful painter of portraits in miniature and enamel. On an engraving by Johann Jakob Haid, which shows the mayor Johann Friedrich Wepfler, Peyer is named in the inscription as the engraver of the original. However, the details of the engraving differ greatly from the oil painting in the town hall, which is why his origination of this engraving must remain in doubt.
