Anna Bilinska (1857-1893) - she died of a heart attack soon after her marriage and return to Poland -
Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899) - what a gal! - is known mainly for The Horse Fair - this is thought to be a self portrait, painted about 1860 -
Mary Cassatt, painting herself in 1880 (she lost her sight and couldn't paint after 1914) -
Kathe Kollowitz has done many self portraits - see them here. This one is from 1898-
and this one from 1934 -
Another who spans the centuries is Paula Modersohn-Becker -
see more of her self-portraits here. Hers is yet another sad story - a career cut short by an embolism at age 31.There's a long list of 19th century women artists here.
