About the Item
This elegant 1840s oil painting shows Christiane Friedericke Dreysel, born Teuscher, wife of German cotton manufacturer Julius Dreysel. She is seated at a table and wears a high-necked black dress over a white blouse with delicate hand-embroidered detailing. This is a symbol of sophistication and her ties to the textile industry in Plauen, Germany.
Following her husband’s early death in 1867, Friedericke took over the family business, a rare role for a woman of her time. An original handwritten label on the back of the painting confirms her identity, birth and death dates (1809–1877), and place of origin.
Originally created as part of a pair (see other listing), this work stands beautifully on its own, offering both visual impact and a story of a remarkable woman of her time.
