Cornelia van der Gon

Cornelia van der Gon (1644 – 1701) was an owner of a show-dollhouse that attracted a following in Amsterdam in the 17th century.

After he died in 1682 he left her most of his estate, including four houses, of which she kept one to live in on Amstel 210.

She married Dorsman's assistant, the artist David van der Plas in 1684 who came to live in her house.

He helped her with decorations for the doll houses, as did the landscape painter Jan Wijnants.

Though Rothé dismantled Van der Gon's dollhouses to create her own, the doll house in the Frans Hals Museum still contains many original details added by Van der Gon.
