Maria Margaretha la Fargue

Maria Margaretha la Fargue (1738–1813), was an 18th-century painter from the Dutch Republic.

Maria la Fargue is best known for her cityscapes, genre paintings and prints.

Together with her brothers she worked in a family studio where they produced prints and illustrations for books.

After the studio went bankrupt, La Fargue started giving drawing lessons.

However, it became more and more difficult for her to make ends meet, until she became dependent on the dispensation of the Church.
