a German painter. She studied under the miniature painter Joseph Einsle. Her portraits, similar in style to the ones of Angelica Kauffman, made her the first woman to enter the Academy of Fine Arts Munich. She spent the time between 1822 and 1824 in Rome, where she became a disciple of Johann Friedrich Overbeck. After this journey, she started painting images, including Stoning of St. Stephen for the Church of St. Stephen in Karlsruhe. In 1829, she became court painter to Grand Duchess Sophie of Baden.
