Anna May-Rychter (1864–1955) was born in Bavaria and learned to paint. She fell in love with Polish artist Tadeusz Rychter, who left his first wife for Anna. But being a Catholic he couldn't obtain a divorce. Because they faced social disapproval in Europe for not being properly married, they departed to live in Jerusalem, which provided the subjects for her watercolors.
