Maria de Grebber

Maria de Grebber (1602, Haarlem – 1680, Enkhuizen), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.

[1] Maria worked in her family workshop and thus did not need professional qualifications to obtain sales.

Their father ran a respected workshop in Haarlem in the 1620s, where he taught Judith Leyster and his own children how to paint.

The first woman registered in the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke was Sara van Baalbergen in 1631, and Leyster was a member by 1633.

Her daughter Isabelle de Wolff later married the painter Gabriel Metsu.
