[2][3] Haanen and all of her siblings were educated in art by their father, but Adriana was the only one to achieve success in Holland.

In 1862, she was awarded a gold medal by the city of Amsterdam for a painting she had submitted to the annual Levende Meesters exhibition.

[3] Haanen regularly submitted her works to the Levende Meesters exhibition and others in Amsterdam, Antwerp, Brussels, Bremen and Paris.

In 1870, Haanen and Vos built a large house together in Oosterbeek (called "Villa Grada"), where they continued to live together.
