Franz Anton Straub (1726–1774/76)
Of the five Straub brothers who dedicated their lives to sculpting, the youngest Franz Anton settled and worked in Zagreb during the 1760s. He was born in 1726 in Wiesensteig, but the exact year of his death has not been confirmed by archival documents. It is assumed that he died between 1774 and 1776.
