On June 24, 1848 she was still singing “Anna” in “The White Woman” to stormy applause, when she suddenly and completely unexpectedly died at the age of only 19 years.

reception

“She barely changed her career as an artist for three years - by then she was already torn from art and its admirers. One of the most gifted, most promising and most interesting art disciples was lost to her. "
