Antonina Houbraken

Her husband was a draughtsman who provided topographical drawings to Brouërius van Nidek, a lawyer who was undertaking a project to map the entire Dutch Republic.

Stellingwerff died in December 1727 and Antonina continued at least until 1729 to supply drawings to Schoemaker.

[4] It has only recently been discovered that many drawings previously attributed to her husband that are part of the collection Schoemaker are actually her work.

Her drawings are regarded as more precise and detailed than those of her husband, and typically include human figures.

It includes a Portrait of Mr. Joan Corver (1628–1716), Alderman and Mayor of Amsterdam dated to 1715.
