At the age of nineteen, she began her studies in Desseldorf which at the time was one of the most important art centres in Europe and her early subject matter was drawn from Slovak life. She began exhibiting there and in 1844 attracted public attention for the first time. After she moved to Rome, her paintings were primarily of local life. It was here that she met her future husband, Jens Adolf Jerichau, whom she married in 1846. When the artist couple was not travelling, she spent many hours a day in their studio in Rome. She was particularly fond of the Italian carnival as a theme.   Related Paintings of Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann :. | Bath | Boy Ridding his Dog of Fleas sg | A Farm with a Dead Tree | Pitahayas | Farmhouse and Woman with Goat |
