FREYBERG, BARONESS VON,

By birth Electrina Stuntz, is one of the most celebrated female artists in Germany. She resides near Munich, but no longer paints professionally; but though she is the careful mother of a large family, yet she still finds some moments to devote to her art. It is as a portrait painter that she acquired her high reputation, and in that branch of art she is almost unequalled. She excels in children; and while she equals Angelica Kauffman in grace and delicacy, she far surpasses her in power both of drawing and colouring.
