Biography
Houten was born in Groningen and studied at the École du Louvre in Paris before finishing her studies under August Allebé at the Rijksacademie voor Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam.[1] She was the niece of Sientje Mesdag-van Houten who gave her advice on her studies.[1]
Besides oil paintings she is also known for etchings and was a member of the short-lived Dutch Etcher's Club (1885-1896).[1] Houten exhibited her work at the Palace of Fine Arts at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.[2]
Her painting Girl in a Chair was included in the 1905 book Women Painters of the World.[3]
Houten died in The Hague.

gollark: Apparently, yes.
gollark: It's pointless to say "I don't like this! Let's do it better" without any idea of what that would mean.
