Olga Boznańska (1865-1940)🎨 was born in Kraków, Poland and later active in Munich and Paris.
She primarily created portraits, and received numerous prizes🎨 and awards for them.
For her portrait of painter Paweł Nauen, for example, she was awarded a gold medal🎨 by Archduke Karl Ludwik of Vienna, and in London for her portrait Miss Mary Breme - a distinction.
In 1896, the jury of the Société des Beaux-Arts in Paris accepted one of her paintings for an exhibition.
