Verso a sketch of the same subject. Therese Weber was trained as an artist by some of the most renowned artists of her time, Karl Rottmann, Christian Morgenstern and Albrecht Adam, thanks to the encouragement of her uncle General Freiherr von Weber. After her father's death, he took Therese in and recognised the girl's talent and inclination. The artist trained herself in the field of landscape painting and animal painting and occupied herself with modern languages as well as history and literature. On numerous trips to Alsace, Lorraine and the Bavarian Inn valley, she drew and painted nature. On a trip to Lake Tegernsee she met the botanist August Max Einsele, who inspired her to draw the plant world accurately and to create a picturesque herbarium. Therese Weber excelled as a plant painter and published several compilations on the local flora, especially of the Alpine countries. She also used the studies herself to decorate fans. Later in life, the artist also travelled frequently, accompanied by an adopted orphan. She travelled to Italy, France and Switzerland and took part in social life. She succumbed to diphtheria at the age of 62 and died on 30 December 1875.
