Biography

According to the RKD she was the granddaughter of Jan van Pee and the daughter of Theodor van Pee. She married the painter Herman Wolters.[1] She is known for her portraits and copies of the work of other painters, most notably Adriaen van de Velde and Anthony van Dyck.[1]

According to the Institute of Dutch History she was a famous miniature painter who was visited by Peter the Great and Frederick William I of Prussia. In later life she married her father's pupil Herman Wolters, and the marriage remained childless. In 1739 the couple moved to Haarlem where they rented rooms in the proveniershuis there, where the well-known Haarlem playwright Pieter Langendijk, and the Finnish giant Daniel Cajanus also lived. At that time, the proveniershof also housed a city inn and it was the place where the stage coach stopped in Haarlem, so it was an important public meeting place and a popular destination for travellers.

Her biography was written by Johan van Gool and Jean-Baptiste Descamps. She was considered remarkable in her time as a clever female painter, but her work is not considered as good today as it was in the 18th century. The miniature painter Maria Machteld van Sypesteyn was her pupil.

gollark: Yes, most of the infrastructure is ancient copper cables.
gollark: Gigabit Ethernet can consistently deliver 1Gbps basically regardless of conditions and is widely supported and various fibre optic standards can do 10Gbps or 40Gbps (much higher is ridiculously expensive).
gollark: Theoretically 802.11ax/WiFi 6 can do 3Gbps or something. Practically, you can't get all that throughput on one device, your devices are probably 802.11ac or 802.11n, and the wireless environment isn't going to be utterly perfect and free of noise.
gollark: 8.
gollark: 1Gbps is pretty common in saner countries.
