Konstantin von Kügelgen

[1] His first art lessons were from his father, which he received together with his cousin, Carl Timoleon von Neff.

After the death of his first wife, Sally von Zezschwitz (1814–1839) he returned to the Baltics, where he worked as a drawing instructor.

In 1840, he married his second wife, Alexandrine Zoege von Manteuffel (1820-1846), a distant relative of his mother.

Two years after her premature death, he married into the prominent Maydell [de] family.

He also wrote a memoir entitled Errinerungen aus meinem Leben (Memories from my Life), which was published posthumously in Saint Petersburg.
