Following his apprenticeship under Schnorr von Carolsfeld in Dresden and Albrecht Adam in Munich, Volkers completed his training at the Düsseldorf Academy in the early 1860s. After many years of travelling, he settled in Düsseldorf and worked as a successful painter of horses until his death in 1907. In the background of this painting we can see the spire of St. Lambertus in Düsseldorf on the opposite side of the Rhine.
