BIOGRAPHY:
Emma von Muller (also known as Edle von Seehof and Emma Muller-Thiele) (born 1859 in Innsbruck, died 1925 in Munich) was an Austrian artist known for producing genre art and portraits set in Tyrol and Bavaria. She was a student of the artist Franz von Defregger who taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Emma von Mullers had an excellent painting technique consistent with the Munich school. She is known for her sensitive portraits of young girls dressed in Austrian and Bavarian folk costumes. Her works were reproduced in magazines of the period. Some of her genre paintings like "Guter Appetit" ("good appetite") or "Besuch" ("the visit") have been shown at exhibitons in Vienna and Munich during the late 1880s and early 1890s. In 1893 her paintings were exhibited at the Tyrolean regional fair amongst other works of Tyrolean artists living in Munich. Her painting "Guter Appetit" ("good appetite") won a bronze medal at the artist fair at the Crystal Palace in London.
