Martin Drolling, a native of Oberhergheim, near Colmar, was born in 1752. He received his first lessons in art from an obscure painter of Schlestadt, but afterwards went to Paris and entered the École des Beaux-Arts. He gained a momentary celebrity by his "Interior of a Kitchen," painted in 1815, exhibited at the Salon of 1817, and now in the Louvre.
He usually painted interiors and familiar subjects of general interest.
He died in Paris in 1827. The Louvre has by him a "Woman at a window " and a "Violin-Player.".
