The Danish artist Henriette Christine Hahn-Brinckmann (1862–1934) moved to Hamburg in 1887 after achieving initial success in her home country, where she taught drawing at the vocational school for girls. 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. — Mounted on cardboard at the corners on the reverse, slightly creased, dusty, stained, and showing signs of studio use.
