Juliane Wilhelmine Bause

She was the younger of two daughters born to the copper engraver, Johann Friedrich Bause, and his wife, Henriette Charlotte, née Brünner (1742–1818).

She met many prominent intellectuals when they visited his studio, including Goethe, Schiller and Charlotte von Stein.

Her elder sister, Friederike Charlotte [de], was a talented musician, but died at the age of nineteen.

Shortly after her husband's death, she was expelled from the estate by General Jean Toussaint Arrighi de Casanova, the French Governor of Leipzig.

From 1789 to 1791, she etched a series of landscapes, after the Dutch Masters and a few recently deceased German artists; including Ferdinand Kobell and Johann Georg Wagner [de].
