Eléonore Lingée (aka Thérèse Eléonore Lingée; Thérèse Eléonore Hémery;
Eléonore Lefèvre) (1753–1820)—the “Catalogue of a collection of
engravings, etchings and lithographs by women, exhibited at the Grolier Club,
April 12 to 27, 1901”, page 61, offers the following information about this extraordinary artist:
“Wife of the engraver C. L. Lingee, and
sister of the engraver A. F. Hemery, was born in Paris about 1753. She was a
member of the Royal Academy of Marseilles, and possessed an 'agreeable talent
for engraving in the crayon manner.’" (https://archive.org/details/catalogueofcolle00grolier/page/60/mode/2up).
“Mouth Studies” (descriptive title only), 1790–1810,
plate 1, from the what I assume is the first book of studies in the series, “Traits d'après Raphael”
(Features after Raphael), designed as a two-stage model drawing for art students to copy and study, after the
intermediary design by Jean Baptiste Regnault (1754–1829), possibly
after Raphael (1483–1520), published
in Paris by Vilquin (fl. 1790–1818).
