Elisabeth von Parlaghy or Princess Vilma Lwoff-Parlaghy, as she was more commonly known, was a portrait painter as well as an international celebrity of sorts. Born in Hungary, she studied in Budapest, in Munich with Franz Quaglio and Wilhelm Dürr the Younger, and in Venice, Florence, with Turin, soon becoming a favorite of the Court of Berlin. The "princess" married and divorced (in short order) a Russian prince, was subsequently very rich, and was well-known as an animal-lover. Her entourage and her pets, including a lion, traveled with her to luxurious hotels in Europe and America. Her last fifteen years were spent in New York. She was known for her portraits of important public figures.

Artist, musician, and poet, Hermine von Preuschen was born in Darmstadt to Maximilian of Preuschen and Friederike Anna Albertine Ottilie Scheffer of Althattendorf. Beginning at age fifteen, she studied art for several years under Ferdinand Keller in Karlsruhe. She traveled to many European countries, but finally set up art studios in Munich, Berlin, and Rome; her later travels included India, Sri Lanka, and Burma. She is best known for her floral paintings. Her first (short) marriage was with Dr. Oswald Schmidt; later she married writer Konrad Zitelman or, pseudonym, Telmann.

Both a portrait painter and an illustrator, Ottilie Roederstein was born in Switzerland. Her father was a businessman who came from Germany to work for a Swiss Textile company. Her parents initially opposed her interest in studying art, but they finally allowed her to study with Swiss painter Eduard Pfyffer who was painting their family portrait. She then moved to Berlin to live with her married sister and continue studying in a special women's class given by Karl Gussow at the Berlin Academy, followed by study in Paris with Carolus-Duran and Jean-Jacques Henner. In 1891, she and her life-partner Dr. Elizabeth Winterhalter settled in Frankfurt and later opened the Schillerschule, Frankfurt's first school for girls. She successfully exhibited and accepted commissions during her entire career.

Born in Breslau, Germany (now Poland) into the family of the wealthy merchant Adolf Staats, Gertrud Staats and her four sisters grew up in Neudorf-Kommende where her father built the large house she would live in for the rest of her life and the large studio in which she and other artists would congregate in later years. She began studying art in her teens with Hermann Bayer and a painter named Fahlbusch. Since women were not allowed into the art academies, she later took private lessons from landscape painter Adolf Dressler and then at the newly founded Silesian Museum of Fine Arts in Breslau. From 1881-83, for short periods of time, she also studied in Berlin with Hans Frederik Gude and Franz Skarbina, then returning to Breslau, to study with landscape painter Carl Coven Schirm. She traveled often, exhibiting her landscapes frequently and participating in the artist colony Dachau near Munich where she was influenced by the more modern techniques of Adolf Hölzel and Ludwig Dill. By the early twentieth century, Staats was considered one of the leaders of the Silesian landscape painters.
