After further stints in Dresden and Paris, she returned to Hamburg in 1894, where she ran her own studio and a school for drawing and painting. Her Japanese-inspired color woodcuts were exhibited in Hamburg, Dresden, Copenhagen, and Paris. At the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris, she was awarded a silver medal. — Depicted here: The same work.
