Camille Alfred Pabst (June 18, 1828 – September 30, 1898) was a French painter.[1][2]
After studying law in Strasbourg, he was at first a lawyer in Colmar, but left the bar to devote himself to painting. He trained with Pierre-Charles Comte in Paris and first exhibited at the Salon of 1865.[2]
Considered a "painter of Alsace Folklore",[3] Pabst painted the landscape of his native region, but also produced historical scenes and scenes of everyday life.[4]
He is buried in the Colombarium of the Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris.[5]
