Russian-born Belgian music-lover and patron of the arts (b. 1837 in [[Moscow]]; d. 1929 in [[Brussels]]), born '''''Marie Mathilde Könemann''''' (Мари Матильда Кёнеман).

She was born in [[Moscow]], the daughter of a Belgian textile manufacturer Albert Könemann (1803–1887), whose factory in the old Russian capital employed some 230 workers, and his wife Johanna Peltzer (1806–1883).
