Her best pictures were sold to private collectors.  Among these are “Polish Raftsmen Resting in the Forest,” 1867; “Polish Raftsmen before a Crucifix,” 1869; “A Jew Rag-picker,” 1870; “The Jewish Quarter in Amsterdam on Friday Evening,” 1881; “A Goose Girl,” 1891.

FRIES, ANNA. Silver medal at Berne, 1857; two silver medals from the Academy of Urbino; silver medal at the National Exposition by Women in Florence.  Honorary member of the Academy Michael Angela, Florence, and of the Academy of Urbino.  Born in Zuerich, 1827.  She encountered much opposition to her desire to study art, but her talent was so manifest that at length she was permitted to study drawing in Zuerich, and her rapid progress was finally recognized and she was taken to Paris, where the great works of the masters were an inspiration to her.  She has great individuality in her pictures, which have been immoderately praised.  She visited Italy, and in 1857 went to Holland, where she painted portraits of Queen Sophia and the Prince of Orange.  She returned to Zuerich and was urged to remain in Switzerland, but she was ambitious of further study, and went again to Florence.  She there painted a portrait of the Grand Duchess Marie of Russia.  She turned her attention to decorative painting, and her success in this may be seen in the facades of the Schmitz villa, the Schemboche establishment, and her own home.  When we consider the usual monotony of this art, the charming effects which Mme. Fries has produced make her distinguished in this specialty.

FRITZE, MARGARETHE AUGUSTE. Born in Magdeburg, 1845.  This genre painter worked first in Bremen, and went in 1873 to Munich, where she studied with Gruetzner and Liezen-Meyer.  The most significant of her pictures is “The Little Handorgan-Player with His Monkey.”  She has also executed many strong portraits, and her painting is thought to show the influence of A. von Kotzebue and Alexander Wagner.  In 1880 she spent some time in Stuttgart, and later settled in Berlin.

FRORIEP, BERTHA. Born in Berlin, 1833.  Pupil of Martersteig and Pauwels in Weimar.  This artist’s pictures were usually of genre subjects.  Her small game pictures with single figures are delightful.  She also painted an unusually fine portrait of Friedrich Rueckert.  At an exhibition by the women artists of Berlin, 1892, a pen study by Fraeulein Froriep attracted attention and was admired for its spirit and its clear execution.

FRUMERIE, MME. DE. Honorable mention at the Salon des Artistes Francais in 1893 and 1895.  Born in Sweden, she studied in the School of Fine Arts in Stockholm.  There she gained a prize which entitled her to study abroad during four years.

She has exhibited her works in Paris, and to the Salon of Les Femmes Peintres et Sculpteurs, in February, 1903, she contributed a bust of Strindberg which was a delightful example of life-like portraiture.
