Sara Ulrik

Sara Brigitte Ulrik née Tscherning (9 July 1855 – 22 May 1916) was a Danish painter.

Ulrik came from a family of artists and grew up painting from a young age. She and her sister, Anthonore Christensen, were taught to paint by their mother, Eleonora Tscherning. Her sister, Anthonore Christensen, (1849–1926) was also a flower painter. Both she and her sister were first taught painting by their mother. Sara Brigitte studied and painted wild flowers and weeds, together with other flowers she found, perhaps while travelling with her mother. She and her mother travelled to Italy in 1873. In addition to exhibiting her works, she also taught flower painting until about 1879.

On 17 January 1879, she married physician Axel Ulrik (1846–1930) in Copenhagen. After her marriage she continued to paint, though she no longer exhibited her works or taught students. She died in Copenhagen on 22 May 1916.
