Frédérique Émilie Auguste O'Connell, who was born as Frédérique Miethe, was born in Potsdam on March 22, 1823 and moved to Paris in 1885. A German painter and portraitist, her work was in vogue among the Parisian social set of the Second Empire. Her works of engraving, rare and limited in number, were prized the critics of the era. Nonetheless, she died forgotten as an artist.
