Although Marianne Preindlsberger Stokes never claimed allegiance to a specific group, her paintings have been successively described as naturalist, symbolist and decorative; indeed some even verge on impressionist.
Following her initial studies at the Graz Drawing Academy, M. Stokes was awarded a grant that enabled her to move to Munich in 1874. As the Academy of Fine Arts Munich did not accept women at the time, she took lessons under Professor Wilhelm Lindenschmit the Younger (1829-1895). In 1880 M. Stokes attended Académie Trélat de Vigny in Paris, followed by Académie Colarossi, where she won a medal in the “expressive heads competition” in 1882. She met the Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck (1862-1946), with whom she struck up an enduring friendship.

Stokes showed her work for the first time in France, in 1883, contributing two canvases to the Société des amis des arts de Seine-et-Oise in Versailles. She obtained an honourable mention at the 1883 Salon de Paris with her piece Réflexion. The booklet from the 1883 and 1884 Salons refer to the artist as a student of Gustave Courtois (1852-1923) and Raphaël Collin (1850-1916).

Ever since she can remember she wanted to become a painter, a desire which at one time did not seem likely to be realised, for in her birthplace few, if any, painters lived. For five years, however, she studied at Munich, and while there gained a recompense the existence of which had a quaint origin. Nearly a century before Mrs. Stokes commenced her artistic education, a poor drawing-master died in Styria, leaving his savings, amounting to only a few gulden, to accumulate, and to be offered as a prize at the end of a hundred years to the most promising Styrian art-student. Mrs. Stokes, then studying in Munich, was the successful competitor, gaining the prize with her first picture, Mutter-glück.
