The future artist's father worked as a pastry cook for the princely family of Liechtenstein, members of which supplied Joseph Schuster with financial assistance and aided him in obtaining a position at the Vienna Academy of Arts as soon as possible. Josef Schuster , as well as Joseph Messmer, Sebastian Wegmaier, and Franz Xaver Petter, were Joseph Schuster's tutors.
