Biography

Maria Röhl was born in Stockholm in a well-off family. She was the daughter of the consul Jacob Röhl and Maria Christina Kierrman and sister of educator Gustafva Röhl (1798–1848).[2]

After the death of their parents in 1822, she first worked as a governess. She was educated in drawing by the professor and copper engraver Christian Forssell (1777–1852); she had already received education in art by architect and artist Alexander Hambré (1790-1818) and was now taught to make quick and realistic portrait drawings in lead and chalk. [3] [4]

She began to draw the friends of the Forsell family, where she lived, and soon it became fashionable in high society to be portrayed by "mamsell Röhl", and she was able to support herself as an artist. She was much employed by those who couldn't pay to be painted in oil, and drew a large number of famous Swedes of the time, both aristocrats and actors. Maria Röhl did paint in oil, but the majority of her work are drawings in lead and chalk.

In 1843, Röhl was appointed court painter, and in 1843–1846, she studied in Paris with portrait painter Leon Cogniet (1794–1880) at the École des Beaux-arts. After her return, she established her own studio at Brunkebergstorg in Stockholm. During her last years, the art of photography became a harsh rival to her drawn portraits. She died in Stockholm.[5]
