Euphrosyne Löf

She was the daughter of a servant at the royal court, the taffeltäckare Johan Gottfrid Löf, and Catharina Charlotta Stålhammar, and the sister of the actress Fredrique Löwen.

She was among the first Swedish actresses known by name to have performed in breeches role; in 1794, she and Inga Åberg did the two male leading parts of August and Theodor in the play De begge kammarpagerna (The Two Valets) by Kexel.

Löf was believed to have influence on his decision to ban coffee, and when he banned silk for the public, she was mentioned in political debate: "In Stockholm it was widely said, that as long as the mamselle's Löf and Slottsberg (the duke's mistresses) wore silk and all sorts of finery, such things should not be banned"[2] She became the lover of Prince Frederick Adolf after his relationship with Sophie Hagman ended in 1795.

[7] Euphrosyne Löf is reported to have lived a comfortable life in Stockholm until her death, and was during the 1820s observed wearing fashionable clothes.

She left her fortune in her will to three of her sisters, Baroness Lovisa von Stedink, Sara "in Russia" and Sophia "in Södertälje", but it was still confiscated by the official Carl Wilhelm Broberg.
