Erzsebet (Elizabeth) (Maria or Mary) was born in Budapest on the 29th of June 1893, the daughter of Daniel Podvinecz, an industrialist who built motors and motor cars, and his wife, Hermina Racz (Rosenberg). Countess Zichy, as she became known commercially, demonstrated a fair amount of artistic talent at a young age, enough to warrant studies with Mixsa (Max) Thein, a noted Budapest painter and teacher of the time, when she was only twelve. At the age of fourteen she became a student at the Fine Arts High School (Kepzomuveszeti Foiskola) of Budapest. She also studied privately with Imre Revesz. She next went to Paris and studied at the Academie de la Grand Chaumiere under Rene Menard and Castellucio. On return to Hungary she was a student for a time starting in 1908 at the Royal Hungarian Academy, now the National Academy of Art and with Janos Molnar Pentelei. She worked in Munich in the school of Herrmann Groeber and at the Knirr School. Countess Zichy died on a visit to Europe on the twentieth of July 1962 in Baden Baden, Germany, at 69 years of age.
