Therese Maron, born Therese Mengs (1725 – 10 October 1806); German painter active in Rome. Therese was born in Dresden, the elder sister of painter Anton Raphael Mengs. She moved with her family to Rome, and there married an Austrian portrait painter and pupil of her brother, Anton von Maron. She painted a number of enamels, pastels, and miniatures, including a self portrait and a portrait of her younger sister Julia. She died in Rome in 1806. Maron was active as a teacher; among her pupils were Apollonia Seydelmann (de), Francesca Bracci, her niece Anna Maria Mengs, and Sofia Clerc. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therese_Maron] Theresia Concordia Mengs, Mme Anton von Maron Aussig 1725 – Rome 1806 The elder sister of Anton Raphael Mengs, she worked in Rome from 1741 and later in Dresden. She married the painter Anton von Maron (1731–1808) in 1765 the year in which both artists were admitted to the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. Only a handful of her pastels are known, but these demonstrate a highly perfected approach, in a style that is close to her brother’s. There has been much confusion (including in Jeffares 2006) regarding the two portraits in Dresden by or of her and her sister Julia Charlotte, q.v. It appears that both are by the same hand, but it should be noted that Anton Raphael Mengs’s portrait of Julia seems to have hair and eye color that contradict both identifications.
