Sally (Sarah Berta Jenny) von Kügelgen was the daughter of the Baltic German landscape painter Konstantin von Kügelgen (1810–1880) and his wife Antonie (née von Maydell). Her grandfather was the German painter Karl von Kügelgen (1772–1832).[2]
From 1890 Kügelgen lived mainly in Rome. However, she often visited her Baltic homeland , especially in the summer months.
She became known for her numerous portraits , but also for history pictures and the depiction of Bible scenes. Her most important work in Estonia are the frescoes about the life of Christ in Tallinn's Karlskirche ( Kaarli kirik ). They were created in 1889 based on sketches that Carl Timoleon von Neff (1804–1876) had actually designed for St. Isaac's Cathedral . She also created the altar painting for the church in the Pilistvere in Livonia.[4]
Sally von Kügelgen remained unmarried throughout her life. Kügelgen died on 16 October 1928 in Rome.[5] She was buried together with Adelheid Dehio on the Roman "Cimitero Acattolico".
