Bakhuyzen exhibited her work at three and possibly more International Exhibitions. In 1880 she sent paintings to the Melbourne International Exhibition (1880). Consequently she received a letter from an art collector on the other side of the world who later ordered a painting- on 2 Nov 1881, she wrote "Dear Sir, By the kindness of Capt.Schagen van Leeuwin, I have received this week your letter and I am much pleased that you approved of my paintings" and in 1882, "Dear Sir, I have the pleasure to write to you that I have sent away the three pictures you wished me to make for you,I have sent them to Mr.Ploos van Amstel who will have the kindness of delivering them to you."
