Title:	Portrait Study
Artist:	Baader, Amalie (Erding, Bavaria, 1763 - Munich, 1840)
Date:	c. 1790
Medium:	Original Etching
Note:	Amalie Baader: Listed as an 'amateur' etcher, Amalie Baader studied printmaking techniques under J. Dorner, the director of the gallery at Munich. She is primarily known for her fine portraits after the art of Rembrandt and some Italian masters. She later married and took the name of her husband, Van Schattenhofer.
	Judging from the fine work in this original etching one can only wonder how far Amalie Baader's career would have advanced is she had not been shackled with the then mostly female appellation of 'amateur'. In a strangely defensive comment one scholar wrote that Baader “practiced it (etching) for amusement, not as a profession.” * I find little amusing in the fact that such talent was not allowed its deserving place.
