She turned her attention to decorative painting, and her success in this may be seen in the façades of the Schmitz villa, the Schemboche establishment, and her own home.

Fritze, Margarethe Auguste. Born in Magdeburg, 1845. This genre painter worked first in Bremen, and went in 1873 to Munich, where she studied with Griitzner and Liezen-Meyer. The most significant of her pictures is "The Little Handorgan-Player with His Monkey." She has also executed many strong portraits, and her painting is thought to show the influence of A. von Kotzebue and Alexander Wagner. In 1880 she spent some time in Stuttgart, and later settled in Berlin.

Froriep, Bertha. Born in Berlin, 1833. Pupil of Martersteig and Pauwels in Weimar. This artist's pictures were usually of genre subjects. Her small game pictures with single figures are delightful. She also painted an unusually fine portrait of Friedrich Riickert. At an exhibition by the women artists of Berlin, 1892, a pen study by Fraulein Froriep attracted attention and was admired for its spirit and its clear execution.

Frumerie, Mme. de. Honorable mention at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1893 and 1895. Born in Sweden,
