Emingerová was born on 17 August 1858 in Prague, in what is now the Czech Republic. She studied in Prague at Emil Reynièr's School of Drawing in 1892.[2] She went on to study in Dresden, Germany and then at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich where her teachers included Maximilian Dasio.[3] In 1891 she went to Paris to study at the Académie Colarossi.
Emingerová first earned a living as a drawing teacher. She went on to support herself by creating portraits (mainly in pastel) of members of the upper class in Austria-Hungary, Bohemia, Germany, Moravia, Poland, and Russia. Emingerová also produced many etchings, as well as some sculptures. Emingerová died on 4 August 1943 in Prague. One of her siblings, Kateřina Emingerová, was noted musician and writer.[2]
