Agatha van der Mijn

Agatha van der Mijn (13 May 1700 – 1776/1796), was an 18th-century flower painter from the Dutch Republic active in London.

She was the younger sister of the painter Herman van der Mijn, and like her niece Cornelia learned to paint flowers from him.

[1] The flower painter Rachel Ruysch was also active in Dusseldorp in the years 1712-1716 and Agatha's work, along with that of Nickelen and her niece Cornelia van der Mijn all show a similar style.

[3] Herman died a year after his son Robert sank through the ice at Marylebone in 1740 while ice-skating.

The wife of one of them was also of the profession : She painted fruit and flowers, and they were all exhibitors at the Society's Rooms in the Strand, in the years 1761 and 1762.".
