Wikipedia: “Henriette Mankiewicz was the daughter of writer Josef Salomon Tauber (1824-1879) and Louise Tauber geb. Edle von Hönigsberg (1824-1894), and was born in Vienna. In 1872, she married the widowed Carl Mankiewicz (1834-1896), the Serbian elector-general in Dresden, to where she moved. After his death in 1896, she moved back to Vienna together with her daughter Margarethe, who was later the writer and translator Margarethe von Schuch-Mankiewicz (1881-1938). Henriette Mankiewicz had grown up in an open-minded family. She was denied her desire to study painting, as women were not allowed to study at institutions during that time. She received private lessons from, among others, Hans Markart. Influenced by Markart's richest refined taste, she specialized in embroidered art. She produced effective and decorative panels, mostly with flowers and landscapes. Her work - often referred to as needlework - was often a combination of different techniques - embroidery, painting and sewing in silk. Her work has been shown in numerous German cities. At the Paris World Exposition (presumably in 1889), her works were met with great applause and subsequently received the distinction of the French honorary legion. She had a friendship with the composer Gustav Mahler.”
