Peter Edward Stroehling, also spelled Peter Eduard Ströhling, and sometimes Stroely or Straely (1768 – c. 1826) was a portrait artist from either Germany or the Russian Empire who spent his later years based in London. He worked in oils and in miniature and painted a number of royal portraits.
According to most accounts, Stroehling was born in 1768 in Düsseldorf.[1][2] However, one biographer states that he was a Russian of German descent, educated at the expense of Catherine the Great.[3] He worked in Paris, Mannheim, Frankfurt, and Mainz, and by about 1792 was studying in Italy. Early in 1796 he was in Vienna and the same year travelled to Saint Petersburg to attend the coronation of Paul I of Russia, taking with him a retinue of servants and representing himself as an English nobleman. He subsequently gained much portrait work in Saint Petersburg and stayed there until 1801.[4][5]
From 1803 to 1807 he was in London, where like Johann Zoffany he foresaw significantly better opportunities to make his name and fortune than at a German court,[6] and was there again from 1819 to 1826.[4] He exhibited his work at the Royal Academy between 1803 and 1826.[5]
Stroehling was uncertainly reported to have died in London about 1826, and no new work was exhibited after that date.[4]
