Life
Clara Krüger was born in Pinneberg in 1854 as the daughter of the architect Hermann Georg Krüger . Her artistic training began at the age of 15. She studied at the Copenhagen Art Academy as well as in Paris, Stuttgart and Dresden. Since 1877 she was represented at exhibitions in Dresden, Berlin and Munich. In addition to pictures of flowers, she created pictures of fruits and wild animals as well as chromolithography templates. In 1878 she married the naval officer Peter Hermann Jegor von Sivers (1853-1892). The couple lived on Gut Staelenhof in Livonia and then in Andrejewo near Vitebsk in what was then Russia and had a son, Hermann von Sivers (1879–1958). In 1888 the couple separated.
Thereupon Clara von Sivers moved back to Germany. After a short stay in Kiel , it has been in the Berlin address book since 1893, first at Lützwowstraße 82 , then at Lützowufer 32 (from 1899), at Georg-Wilhelm-Str. 19 (from 1904) and in Paulsborner Straße 9 (from 1908). In her Berlin studio she gave art and teaching lessons to other women. She was also editor of the illustrated monthly magazine Kunstgewerbe für's Haus .
Boetticher names seven pictures of her flowers and fruits from the years 1877–1891. A picture from 1877 is still in the Chemnitz Museum today .
