This original work painted by a female artist is a beautiful still life with flowers and fruits. A mysterious portrait in the background that you can hardly see, is a testimony to mastery and great talent. Why is the portrait of a man which is located on the right side of the vase almost invisible? Surely she would have wanted to say something with a lot of care.
At the end of 19 century, women were about to take their place as artists, and Dohlmann Augusta did much to achieve this. Art education was open to those who could afford it and the prospect of a serious education became a reality.
Still, it was more difficult for women to achieve artistic accomplishments at that time and this would continue for another century. Although women artists had gained access to drawing and painting, commercialization was still difficult. They sometimes had to use a male name or sign with a monogram.
Dohlmann Augusta was a strong lady and able to remain herself in her work, and support other young artists to seek and find their way in painting.
