In 1895, Toulouse-Lautrec created a lithograph showing Léonie Yahne and Henry Mayer in the piece L'Âge difficile by Jules Lemaître. Another lithograph from the same year bears the title Yahne dans sa loge .

Léonie Yahne was often photographed in the Nadar studio and by Léopold-Émile Reutlinger and was featured several times in the Le Théâtre magazine , in June 1903 and March 1913.
