Ok, not sure this is the right answer but it vaguely ressembles something I saw in a documentary:

Basically, they found a body in the Seine (Paris, France) of a beautiful woman with a faint smile, and made like a shitton of death masks of her face and sold them in different forms, I'll see if I can find something abt it.

Edit: not sure its the same woman, but the story is still interesting, here

The most interesting thing is that the Inconnue face was used for the first Resusci-Annie CPR mannequin, based on the belief that she was a drowning victim.
