EGLOFFSTEIN, COUNTESS JULIA. Born at Hildesheim. 1786-1868.  This painter of portraits and genre subjects belonged to a family of distinction in the north of Germany.  She was a maid of honor at the court of Weimar.  Her pictures were praised by Cornelius and other Munich artists.  Her portrait of Goethe, in his seventy-seventh year, is in the Museum at Weimar.  She also painted portraits of Queen Theresa Charlotte of Bavaria and of the Grand Duchess of Saxe-Weimar.  Her picture of “Hagar and Ishmael in the Desert” is well known in Germany.

EGNER, MARIE. Pupil of Schindler in Vienna.  She has exhibited her pictures at the exhibitions of the Vienna Water-Color Club.  In 1890 an exquisite series of landscapes and flowers, in 1894 “A Mill in Upper Austria,” in gouache, and in 1895 other work in the same medium, confirming previous impressions of her fine artistic ability.

EISENSTEIN, ROSA VON. Born in Vienna, 1844.  This artist is one of the few Austrian women artists who made all her studies in her native city.  She was a pupil of Mme. Wisinger-Florian, Schilcher, C. Probst, and Rudolf Huber.  Her pictures are of still-life.  She is especially fond of painting birds and is successful in this branch of her art.

ELLENRIEDER, ANNA MARIE. Born at Constance. 1791-1863.  A pupil of Einsle, a miniaturist, and later of Langer, in Munich.  In Rome, where this artist spent several years, she became a disciple of Overbeck.  Returning to Switzerland, she received the appointment of Court painter at Baden in 1829.

Her works are portraits and pictures of historical subjects, many of the latter being Biblical scenes.  Among her best works are the “Martyrdom of Saint Stephen,” in the Catholic church at Carlsruhe; a “Saint Cecilia,” a “Madonna,” and “Mary with the Christ-Child Leaving the Throne of Heaven” are in the Carlsruhe Gallery.  “Christ Blessing Little Children” is in the church at Coburg.  Among her other works are “John Writing his Revelation at Patmos,” “Peter Awaking Tabitha,” and “Simeon in the Temple.”

Her religious subjects sometimes verge on the sentimental, but are of great sweetness, purity, and tenderness.  She was happier in her figures of women than in those of men.  She also made etchings of portraits and religious subjects in the manner of G. F. Schmidt.
