Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf

Anna Nitschmann

After Erdmuth died in 1756, a year later Zinzendorf married Anna Nitschmann (1715-1760), a leading sister in the work among the sisters. Anna was born in Kunwald, Moravia. At ten years of age she fled with her parents to Upper Lusatia to escape persecution for their Christian faith. She died in May 1760 a few days after Zinzendorf. In this painting, done before she was married, one can see the simple dress of the oldest group of sisters. Her bonnet is tied with a pink ribbon. The single sisters wore one of three ribbons depending upon age. Her bonnet is tied with a pink ribbon. The color of the ribbons was cherry red for the little girls, dark red for older girls thirteen through seventeen, and pink for single sisters eighteen years and older.
