LINDEGREN, AMALIA. Member of the Academy of Stockholm.  Honorary member of the London Society of Women Artists.  Born in Stockholm. 1814-1891.  A student in the above-named Academy, she was later a pupil of Cogniet and Tissier, in Paris, and afterward visited Rome and Munich.  Her pictures are portraits and genre subjects.  In the Gallery at Christiania are her “Mother and Child” and “Grandfather and Granddaughter.”  “The Dance in a Peasant Cottage” is in the Museum of Stockholm, where are also her portraits of Queen Louise and the Crown Princess of Denmark, 1873.

“With her unpretentious representations of the joy of children, the smiling happiness of parents, sorrow resigned, and childish stubbornness, Amalia Lindegren attained great national popularity, for without being a connoisseur it is possible to take pleasure in the fresh children’s faces in her pictures.”—­History of Modern Painters.

LIPPINCOTT, MARGARETTE. Honorable mention and Mary Smith Prize at Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.  Member of Philadelphia Water-Color Club and Plastic Club.  New York Water-Color Club.  Born in Philadelphia.  Pupil of Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and Art Students’ League, New York.

This artist has painted flowers especially, but of late has taken up genre subjects and landscapes.  Among her pictures is one of “Roses,” in the Academy of Fine Arts, and “White Roses,” in the Art Club of Philadelphia.  “Sunset in the Hills” is in a private collection, and “The West Window” is owned in Detroit.

LISZEWSKA, ANNA DOROTHEA. Married name was Therbusch.  Member of the Academies of Paris and Vienna and of the Institute of Bologna.  Born in Berlin. 1722-1782.  Was court painter at Stuttgart, and later held the same office under Frederick the Great, whose portrait she painted, 1772.  Her picture of “Diana’s Return from the Chase” was also painted for Frederick.  Her early studies were conducted by her father.  After leaving the court of Stuttgart she studied four years in Paris.  In the Louvre is her picture of “A Man Holding a Glass of Water”; in the Brunswick Gallery is her portrait of herself; and several of her works are in the Schwerin Gallery.  Her pictures of “A Repentant Maiden,” 1781, and of “Ariadne at Naxos” attracted much attention.

LISZEWSKA, ANNA ROSINA. Member of the Dresden Academy.  Born in Berlin. 1716-1783.  Pupil of her father.  She executed forty portraits of women for the “Hall of Beauty” at Zerbst.  One of her portraits, painted in 1770, is in the Gallery at Brunswick.  She travelled in Holland in 1766, but was too much occupied with commissions to find time for foreign journeys.  She painted a picture called “Artemisia” and a second of “Monime Pulling Down Her Diadem,” which were interesting and excellent examples of her style of painting.

LOCATELLI, OR LUCATELLI, MARIA CATERINA. Of Bologna.  Died in 1723.  She studied under Pasinelli, and in the Church of St. Columba in Bologna are two pictures by her—­a “St. Anthony” and a “St. Theresa.”
