Klara kyrka (the church of St Clara) was originally built 1572-1590 - the church was badly damaged by fire in 1751, but rebuilt and renovated several times after that. The interior of the church was renovated in 1906-07 by Agi(August) Lindegren, and it was then the paintings in the ceiling were added.

I have two photos of Anna, bought with her name and date of birth and death written on the back which made for an easy identification - her name is rather unusual so you won't get her mixed up with someone else.

Anna Margareta Thott was born July 28 1866 in Skabersjö, Skåne, Sweden and she died November 9 1917 in Stockholm. She was the daughter of Gustav Thott, who died in 1879, and Irmengard Margareta Charlotta Thott (they seem to have been distantly related, hence the same last name), who died in 1900. They had married in 1865 and had two children: Anna and her two years younger brother Fritz Gustaf Christian, who emigrated to Chicago in 1893. Anna never married, and in Stockholm she worked as a physical therapist.

I would date this photo to the 1890's.

I would date this photo to the late 1870's, most likely before the passing of her father.

A coffin-shaped memorial found in the church of St Clara. On it you can read (though not in this shot, it's too dark): 'Himlen alena cröner' [Heaven alone gives a crown.]
And below:
Herr Hans Ankarcrants.
Amiral och commendeur af kongl. swärds orden.
Hade tappert och bedligt tient uti 65 år.
Under fyra Swea konungar.
Warit sedan år 1720 gift och fader till fyra barn
Caisa Greta. Hans Wilhelm. Carl Ioachim. och Lisa.
Dem han alla öfwerlefwat

Honom till äreminne.
Med hwilken och denna adeliga ätt är utslocknad
Uprestes stenen af den söriande makan
Fru Lisa Kammecker.
1769.
