Bertha Howald
Born in 1846.
Died in 1918.
Bertha Howald was an artist whose principal activity was devoted to the teaching of drawing and to painting. She is particularly recognised for her work in watercolour, a technique that enabled her to explore the subtlety of colours and the fluidity of forms. Although little detailed information is available about her artistic career, her role as a Zeichenlehrerin (drawing teacher) attests to her commitment to passing on her knowledge.
Her work remains to be rediscovered within the context of her era, marked by an evolution in artistic and pedagogical practices.
