Anna Maria Hilfeling

Anna Maria Hilfeling

Anna Maria Hilfening, née Lange, (Stockholm 1713-Romelanda, Bohuslän 1783), was a Swedish artist, a portrait miniaturist.

Daughter of a book-keeper in Stockholm, she displayed talent in drawing as a child and was made a student of artist Burchardt Precht in 1722 at the age of nine, and was later taught by artist Niclas Lafrenssen the Older and was admired by Carl Gustav Tessin and by the royal house. She painted in oil and made drawings but was foremost a miniaturist before she married the city surgent Hilfeling in 1739; among her clients where the king and the queen, king Frederick I of Sweden and queen Ulrika Eleonora of Sweden. Her son, Carl Hilfeling, also became an artist.
