Anna von Greiner (1836, Hausen - ?) was a Frankfurt beauty whose portrait was included in the famous Gallery of Beauties of the Bavarian King Ludwig I.^[1] The portrait was one of the two painting which Joseph Karl Stieler did not create.

Life

She was the daughter of the carpenter Christian Jakob Bartelmann and his fiancée Wilhelmine Herrlich. She worked as an actress in Hamburg and Braunschweig before finding a job at the Court and National Theater in Munich in October 1857. In 1860 she moved on to Vienna. She returned to Munich and married the landowner Emil von Greiner in 1861. The marriage was dissolved in 1865. Anna's year of death is not known.^[2]

Portrait

In 1861, King Ludwig I of Bavaria commissioned Friedrich Dürck to create two more portraits for the Gallery of Beauties (today in Nymphenburg Palace). Dürck was the pupil and nephew of Joseph Karl Stieler, who was the court painter to the king and painted the beautiful women for the Gallery from 1827 until 1850. This is how the only two pictures in the collection that do not come directly from Stieler were created: they are the portraits of Anna von Greiner and Carlotta von Breidbach-Bürresheim.^[3]

In her portrait, her sleeves made of sheer material that bursts out of tighter inner sleeves are reminiscent of some 1830s and 1840s Russian dresses.^[4]
