She is most notable for her design and execution of a marble tomb for her sister Thérèse which was declared a national monument by the Dutch government.

[1] Born in Amsterdam on 12 April 1854, Georgine grew up in an artistically inclined family.

She was the daughter of painter Johann Georg Schwartze, and her older sister Thérèse went on to become a prominent portraitist.

As opposed to her father and sister, Georgine was more interested in sculpting as well as painting, and so she enrolled at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten.

The tomb, located in Amsterdam New Eastern Cemetery, is considered a national monument (Rijksmonument) by the Dutch government.
