Works
An album of Magdalena Rosina Funck's watercolors is in the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library , Washington (DC), USA. Another album with 290 almost identical copies from the beginning of the 18th century is in the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation, Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Books were often copied, and many watercolors were later bound in books. Flower books were often used as catalogs of flowers for country estate owners who wanted to select plants for their gardens. The images in it were often from well-known artists. Images of her watercolors can also be found on the Götzendorf-Grabowski-Service , a porcelain service from the Royal Saxon Porcelain Manufactory in Meissen from 1742.
