Until 1890 her pictures, including portraits of Kaiser Wilhelm I and Justice Minister Heinrich von Friedberg , were often represented at German exhibitions. She married the theater director Bruno von Lepel-Gnitz (1843-1908) in Rodenbeck near Minden on September 17, 1880 , moved to Hanover in 1890 and, after the marriage, also emerged as an author of fairy tales under the name Hedwig von Lepel-Gnitz.
