Charlotte von Hagn

At her first appearance at the 1828 Munich Hoftheater,[1] the audience applauded at once and she had huge successes at the Burgtheaters in Vienna, Dresden, Berlin and Budapest.

She was described as a witty and charming conversationalist, and she competed with Karoline Bauer; the theatre audiences were divided into "Hagnerians" and "Bauerians".

In the spring of 1848 she married the landowner Alexander von Oven[1] and retired from the stage, but she was divorced in 1851.

He commissioned a portrait of her from his court painter Joseph Karl Stieler in 1828 for his Gallery of Beauties when she was 19 years old.

[1] After her divorce, Charlotte von Hagn lived for a time in Gotha and then in Munich, where she died in April 1891.
