Naftel also had 13 works accepted by the Society of British Artists and nine pieces by the New Watercolour Society.[1][3] Among her works shown at the Royal Academy were A Little Red Riding Hood in 1862, Musing in 1869 and A Sark Cottage in 1885.[4] Works by her were also shown at the Grosvenor Gallery and at the New Gallery.[3]
In 1853 Naftel married the artist Paul Jacob Naftel and the couple subsequently had a daughter, Maud, who also became a notable artist.[3][4]
