Zofia Atteslander
1874–1924 · Polish painter of portraits and still lifes
Zofia Atteslander (born in Luborzyca, 1874) was a Polish painter active from 1889 to 1928 in Berlin, Paris and Wiesbaden, among other cities. She trained with several teachers in Kraków, Munich and Dachau, where she worked with Adolf Hölzel after 1902. She specialised in portraits and still lifes, and also practised pastel drawing.
During her stay in Wiesbaden in 1904, she painted portraits for the Romanian royal family. In 1908, while in Paris, she received an honour at the Salon of French Artists. She also exhibited with the Warsaw Society of the Incentive for Fine Arts and the Kraków Society of the Friends of Fine Arts. She often signed her paintings with the mark "Zo". Her known works include "Portrait of a Young Woman with Narcissus", "Girl with a Green Hat" and "Portrait of Lady Stanhope" (1912). The last documented record of her activity dates from 1928, so the date of her death is not confirmed.
