After an apprenticeship as a merchant, Anton Peschka attended Robert Scheffer's painting school. From 1906 to 1910 he studied with his friend and later brother-in-law Egon Schiele under Christian Griepenkerl at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Artistically influenced by Schiele, Peschka exhibited with him in the "Neukunstgruppe" in 1910. Through Schiele, Peschka also became acquainted with Gustav Klimt. In 1910 and 1919 Peschka's works were presented at the Vienna Künstlerhaus. From 1922 to 1935 he was a member of the Hagenbund, whose exhibitions he regularly attended. He was also a member of the artists' association "Wassermann" in Salzburg, which was founded by Felix Albrecht Harta and Anton Faistauer, and participated in exhibitions of the artists' group "Maerz" in Linz. His main motifs include nudes and landscapes, such as this winter painting. His works can be found in the Albertina, the Wien Museum, the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum (Army History Museum), Vienna, the Belvedere and copper engraving cabinet of the City of Vienna, among others.
