• Emma Stebbins was awarded the first public art commission for a woman in NYC
• The Angel of the Waters was not well-received when it was first unveile
• “Her work was exhibited at the National Academy of Design, and she was nominated in 1842 to be an associate member of the group — the only category open to amateurs.
• “Emma Stebbins was born in New York on Sept. 1, 1815, one of nine children of Mary (Largin) and John L. Stebbins.”
• “Stebbins died on Oct. 25, 1882, at 67. The cause was a lung disease, most likely worsened by years of inhaling marble dust. She was buried in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.”

Notes About Draft

• I am planning to add more images of Emma, her family, and her work.
• I need to double-check that I paraphrased everything correctly.

Review

Excellent work NortheasternFoley. I made a few tweaks and shifted the "meta" stuff here on the talk page where it typically goes. Please begin moving your version to mainspace where you can add categories, inbound links, and ask for wider feedback. -Reagle (talk) 14:11, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Hey! The article looks really nice. The only thing I would say to adjust is adding more material for the works that she is known for. I would also add her occupation on the side part of the article. A few more references would be great but otherwise, the article reads well and looks super nice. Emsandell (talk) 20:39, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
