As a teenager Dobrowsky attended the Vienna School of Applied Arts, Franz Hohenberger's painting school until 1906 when he began studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna where he learned under Christian Griepenkerl and Rudolf Bacher. From 1914 to 1918 his studies were interrupted by the First World War and his military service. He returned to school after the war and graduated in 1919. Following the war he worked as a freelance artist and became a member of the Vienna Secession and later the Prague Secession. His work was focused mostly on landscapes and portraits, but also some genre scenes. Beginning in 1927 Dobrowsky joined Ferdinand Kitt in summers to Lake Wolfgang and the small, adjacent town of Zinkerbach. Other notable artists who attended included Sergius Pauser, Franz von Zülow, Lisel Salzer, Ernst Huber, Georg Erhlich, Bettina Bauer-Ehrlich, Georg Merkel and Louise Merkel-Romee. The group became known as the Zinkerbach Artist Colony. They met and discussed and created art over the course of several summers between the mid-1920s and 1937. In 1936 Dobrowsky received the Great Austrian State Prize for Fine Art. Dobrowsky stayed in Vienna throughout the Second World War, continuing to paint and exhibit. After the war Dobrowski was named a professor of painting at the Vienna Academy. Dobrowsky died in Tullnerbach on January 9, 1964.
