Friederike von Gumppenberg

In 1842, Friederike entered the service as lady-in-waiting to Crown Princess Marie, who had just married and moved to Bavaria.

His son, Baron Ottmar Hubert von Gumppenberg, born in Munich in 1888, the grandson of the Friederike, became lord of the castle at Deining in the Upper Palatinate in the 1950s.

At that time, the king's work had been in progress for fifteen years and was much talked about at the Bavarian royal court and in citizen circles.

He depicted her in a red robe, her face with beautiful eyes and clear gaze surrounded by dark curls and crowned by a simple parting, with a landscape in the background.

Her portrait was created the same year as that of her princely mistress, the Crown Princess and later Queen Marie of Bavaria.
