(b amsterdam, 20 dec 1851; d amsterdam, 23 dec 1918). dutch painter and printmaker. in 1874, after the death of her father and teacher, the history painter j. g. schwartze (1814–74), she left the netherlands to continue her artistic training abroad. she first went to munich where she trained with gabriel max, franz von lenbach and karl von piloty. later she spent some time in the studio of jean-jacques henner in paris. from 1875 to 1883 she was a student at the rijksacademie van beeldende kunsten in amsterdam. her international orientation emerges clearly in the elegant and vivacious style of the numerous portraits and figure paintings that she produced in the course of a successful career. her sitters include famous as well as less well-known figures, mostly well-to-do members of the dutch middle classes and aristocracy: for example, f. d. o. obreen, director-general of the rijksmuseum, amsterdam (amsterdam, rijksmus.). she was rightly thought to be one of the best dutch portrait painters of her time. she made a few pastel drawings of still-life subjects and also a number of lithographs and etchings, having taken lessons from rudolf stang (1831–1927). she contributed on several occasions to the dutch etching club and gave lessons to her niece, m. e. g. (lizzy) ansingh (1875–1959), and to r. lieman (b 1882). some of her pictures are signed with her married name, van duyl-schwartze.  (hide)
