When her father chose the side of the French during the troubles of the 1780s, the family had to flee the city in 1787.

Anna Maria married the banker Paul Iwan Hogguer a few months later in 1788.

Through the connections of her husband she had access to all the art "cabinets" of Amsterdam and began collecting on her own.

In 1790 the couple's only child, Ernestina Henrietta Maria Paulina was born, but Anna Maria continued drawing lessons, since after Louw's death she was honored 15 November 1801 with full membership in the society and was noted as pupil of Izaak Schmidt.

In 1798 she received a medal from the Society for saving victims of drowning (Dutch: Maatschappij tot Redding van drenkelingen) because she pulled a boy out of the canal and brought him inside to recover.
