Clara von Bayern, granddaughter of King Ludwig I, began her artistic education with the floral painter Natalie von Nikitin.

Clara regularly exhibited her work as part of the art group Die Frauenwörther.

Clara von Bayern was also abbess of St. Anne's Convent in Würzburg, a lady of the orders of the Star Cross, Therese and St. Elizabeth, and Grand Master of the Order of St. Anne of the Ladies of the Würzburg Convent.
