During the course of these trips, Backer continued to draw and often visited museums, where she enjoyed copying old master paintings. Backer later deemed her experience travelling as having been an essential part of her education.</p>

      <p>In 1874 Backer decided to formally study in Munich, where she continued to focus on copying the Old Masters and historical subjects. Backer never completely attached herself to one, particular institution but enjoyed drawing from a variety of resources. After spending sometime developing her paintings in Munich, Backer moved to Paris, where she continued to study and paint. Backer was undoubtedly influenced by impressionist painting, but was always regarded as more of a realist. In reality, Backer never officially belonged to any school but her work is often compared with that of her friend Eilif Peterssen. Backer was associated with many intellectuals and gave drawing lessons to many notable figures throughout Europe, including the novelist Cora Sandel.</p>
