Matthäus Georg von Chandelle , ennobled Bishop of Speyer, was her uncle; the Frankfurt sculptor Cornelius Andreas Donett (1683–1748) one of her great-grandfathers.
She learned pastel painting from her father, who was also active in this art direction, and mainly painted portraits, flowers and religious representations. She died almost blind and impoverished in 1866.
