Sophie Pilgram
Sophie Pilgram (born January 4, 1808 in Memmingen , † April 23, 1870 in Stuttgart ) was a German miniature painter .
Sophie Pilgram was the daughter of the court mechanic Johann Conrad Pilgram (1771–1840) and Christiane Wilhelmine, nee. Tiedemann. Her brother Wilhelm Pilgram (1814–1889) also became a painter.
She received her training from the Stuttgart court miniature painter Gottlob Wilhelm Morff (1771–1857). As early as the mid-1820s she exhibited her pictures, mostly miniature portraits of girls and young women. An eye condition that later led to her blindness forced her to switch from miniature to larger-format oil painting in the late 1830s.
In 2012, the Stuttgart City Archives showed an exhibition with works by Wilhelm and Sophie Pilgram from the Eugen Kittel collection and other holdings.
