Lynker, daughter of the owner of a Viennese porcelain factory, received her artistic training as a private student from Johann Wilhelm Schirmer in Karlsruhe and Albert Flamm in Düsseldorf . Later she lived in Graz . She went on various study trips on which she captured her impressions of landscapes, cityscapes, architecture and folk life in watercolors . In the years from 1864 to 1868 she toured the Middle East : stations were Constantinople , Smyrna , Baalbek , Damascus and Egypt (including Upper Egypt ). In May 1865 she exhibited studies with depictions from Constantinople at the Austrian Art Association in Vienna, where she had already been represented with pictures in 1860 and 1863. Around 1875 (the exact date is not known), a picture folder with 32 chromolithographs was published under the title Nil-Album , which Conrad Grefe had made from 30 originals by Lynker and two originals by Hubert Sattler . As a woman of the 19th century, Lynker occupies a special position among oriental painters . She lived in Opatija for about four decades .
