Product description
Small pastel by the well-known Pinneberg artist Clara von Sivers (1854-1924)
Bouquet of tulips in a vase 29 x 20 cm.
Clara was born on October 29, 1854 in Pinneberg as the daughter of master builder Hermann Georg Krüger and Catharina Dorothea Lüthge. The couple had two sons and four daughters, three of whom - Clara, Rosa and Elisabeth - became painters. “From early childhood, my love of art and beautiful nature was stimulated by my father, who was an architect, and my mother, who had an eye and heart for everything big and beautiful, so at the age of 15 I was able to devote myself entirely to art (and) received excellent instruction.”
She took lessons in Copenhagen, especially with Otto Didrik Ottesen (1816–1892), but also with other artists in Dresden, Stuttgart, Lyon and Paris. Study trips took her to the Netherlands several times, where she was able to study the great still life masters.
In 1878 Clara married the Baltic naval officer Peter Hermann Jegor von Sivers (1853–1892), who came from a Baltic noble family. The couple lived on two country estates in Estonia, where their son Hermann (†1958) was born in 1879. However, the two separated in 1888. Clara, however, continued to use the name Sivers by marriage and after the separation lived initially in Kiel, and from 1891 alternately in Berlin, where she settled permanently from 1897. There, in addition to her own artistic work, Clara ran a painting school for women and published a monthly magazine from 1900 until the outbreak of the First World War entitled “Arts and Crafts for the Home”.
Clara von Sivers died on March 12, 1924 in Berlin.
