She made paintings of notable and royal people in the United States, Europe and Asia. She spent nine months in China in 1903 painting a portrait of the Empress Dowager Cixi for the St. Louis Exposition. On her return to America, she published a book about her experience, titled With the Empress Dowager. Early lifeKatharine Augusta Carl was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on February 12, 1865,[1] the daughter of Francis Augustus Carl, Ph.D., LL.D. and Mary Breadon Carl.[2] She had a brother named Francis A.

She was a member of the Société des Artistes Français of Paris, the International Jury of Fine Arts, and the International Jury of Applied Arts of the St. Louis Exposition.[5] China and Empress Dowager CixiKatharine Carl was contacted by Sarah Pike Conger, the wife of American Ambassador Edwin H. Conger with an offer to come to China in the summer of 1903 to paint a portrait of the Empress Dowager Cixi for the Chinese exhibit at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition.[4] She spent a total of nine months in China and painted four portraits of the Empress Dowager, later recording her memories as the only western foreigner to live within the precincts of the Chinese imperial court in its last days in a book that was published in 1906.[5] {{Quotation|I was obliged to follow, in every detail, centuries-old conventions. There could be no shadows and very little perspective, and everything must be painted in such full light as to lose all relief and picturesque effect. When I saw I must represent Her Majesty in such a conventional way as to make her unusually attractive personality banal, I was no longer filled with the ardent enthusiasm for my work with which I had begun it, and I had many a heartache and much inward rebellion before I settled on the inevitable.|Katharine Carl, With the Empress Dowager of China[14]}}She stayed there under the provision that she did not share information about Forbidden City.[4] The Empress Dowager honored Carl with the Order of the Double Dragon and the Flaming Pearl.[2][5] Katharine Carl wrote of her time in China provide a unique and intimate assessment of the Empress Dowager Cixi, in the book With the Empress Dowager of China.[6]{{#tag:ref|Carl's experiences with the Dowager Empress are further detailed by Muriel Jernigan in Forbidden City. Jernigan lived in Peking until the 1912 revolution.[7]|group="nb"}} To her dismay, the press incorrectly reported that she made unflattering remarks about the Empress.[4] Carl's brother, Francis, worked for Sir Robert Hart at the Imperial Chinese Maritime Customs Service. She apparently stayed at Hart's house at some point and was described by him as "very breezy - quite a tornado".[8] While in China, she painted portraits of H.E.
