Pauline Prochazka

Pauline Prochazka (1842–1930) was a water-colourist and one of the founders of the Water Colour Society of Ireland.

Baroness Pauline Prochazka was the daughter of Ottokar, Baron Prochazka, Field Marshal Lieutenant in the Austrian Army,[2] and Leopoldine Henrika Gersch, step-daughter of the late Baron Stuart de Decies, of Dromana, County Waterford.

[5] She founded the Water Colour Society of Ireland in 1870 with a group of six women in Waterford.

[6][7][8] Prochazka was an accomplished and award-winning water-colourist and became manager of the Royal Irish School of Art Needlework in 1886.

[10] She was a niece to Sir Charles Wheeler Cuffe[1] and thus related to the illustrator Charlotte, Lady Wheeler-Cuffe.
