Christiane Luise Duttenhofer (née Hummel; 5 April 1776 – 16 May 1829) was a German papercutting artist. She was raised in a middle class Protestant family, who gave her some art education but did not permit her to become a professional artist. At the age of 28, she married her cousin, the engraver Christian Duttenhofer. Three of their seven children reached adulthood. After a voyage to Rome around 1805, where they met several German artists and experienced classical antiquity, the couple moved to Stuttgart. There, Duttenhofer was in contact with the educated bourgeoisie and also met famous authors like Jean Paul and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
