After a portrait that was completed in 1828 by Joseph Stieler when Cornelia Vetterlein was 16 years old.

Cornelia Vetterlein was born on 25 December, 1812 on holy Christmas Day near Bayreuth in Upper Franconia, which is the northern region of Bavaria.
She was the granddaughter of Bayreuth Court Gardner Schneider and the daughter of State Councillor Vetterlein.
She married Imperial Baron Franz Ludwig von Künsberg (Reichsfreiherr Franz Ludwig Friedrich von Künsberg) in 1843 (Hain-Schmeilsdorf) and she had a daughter.
