Printmaker and painter Carl Wilhelm Stubbe-Teglbjærg, who signed his work C.V. Stubbe-Teglbjærg, was born in Radby Skole, Fyn, Denmark, on May 14, 1894. He never attended formal art school, instead teaching himself how to draw while studying to become a veterinarian. Around this time he also began taking etching lessons with artist and conservator Hans Viggo Westergaard (1870-1928). He was encouraged by art dealer Hans Frandsen to make etchings and by 1917 he had built a reputation as a printmaker of classical Dutch landscapes. In addition to his personal output, he was commissioned to make illustrations for newspapers. It wouldn't be until 1941 that he began pursuing painting.
