Auguste Hüssener (1789-1877)

Auguste Hüssener (1789 – 13 February 1877) was a German engraver and miniature painter.

Hüssener was born in Szczecin, Poland, and was a pupil of the engraver Ludwig Buchhorn. In 1814 she became a professor at the Prussian Academy of Arts and was entrusted with the leadership of the Academy´s School of Engraving from 1824. At the annual exhibitions of the Academy, Hüssener regularly presented works from 1828 to 1860. She became known for her portraits of celebrities from aristocracy, art circles, diplomacy and science. A particular focus was on the portraits of contemporary women, such as the Swedish Nightingale Jenny Lind or Lola Montez. Many of her works were created as templates of other artists.
