Sigrid Kähler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sigrid Kähler, also Sigrid Andersen Ring, (12 May 1874 – 9 May 1923)[1] was a Danish ceramist and painter. Through her father, the ceramist Herman A. Kähler, she met the painter L. A. Ring. After their marriage in 1896, she inspired many of his works. Although she spent most of her time as a mother and housewife, she continued to paint occasionally and decorated ceramics. Her work together with that of her husband was exhibited in Ordrupgaard in 2017.[2][3]
Born in Næstved on 12 May 1874, Sigrid Kähler was the eldest of the six children of the ceramist Herman August Kähler (1846–1917) and Jansine Elisabeth Christine Berg (1848–1901). The others were Herman Hans Christian (1876), Hedevig (1878), Ebba (1880), Elisabeth (1882) and Stella (1886).[4][5] She learnt to paint in her father's workshop where she decorated ceramics.
