 thÃ©rÃ¨se schwartze (december 20, 1851 &ndash; december 23, 1918) was a dutch portrait painter. ==life== she was born in amsterdam. thÃ©rÃ¨se was the daughter of johan georg schwartze (1814â1874), from whom she received her first training, before studying for a year under gabriel max and franz von lenbach in munich. in 1879 she went to paris to continue her studies under jean-jacques henner. her portraits are remarkable for excellent character drawing, breadth and vigour of handling and rich quality of pigment. she was married in 1906 to anton van duyl. she was one of the few women painters who had been honoured by an invitation to contribute their portraits to the hall of painters at the uffizi gallery in florence. some of her best pictures, notably a portrait of piet j joubert, and three inmates of the orphanage at amsterdam, are at the rijksmuseum, and one entitled the orphan at the boijmans van beuningen museum in rotterdam. her niece was the painter lizzy ansingh. on 22 july 1918 her husband, anton van duyl, died. as thÃ©rÃ¨se schwartze was in bad health at that time (and tried to hide this), the death of her husband was a blow that she could not overcome easily. she died in amsterdam on 23 december 1918 from a sudden illness. thÃ©rÃ¨se was buried at zorgvlied cemetery in amsterdam. later she was reburied at the nieuwe ooster cemetery in amsterdam. ==works of thÃ©rÃ¨se schwartze in the jewish historical museum== *jewish antique dealer *portrait of mozes de vries van buren *portrait of abraham carel wertheim *portrait of p. m. wertheim-wertheim ==works of thÃ©rÃ¨se schwartze in the rijksmuseum== *portrait of dr. j.l. dusseau (1870) *young italian woman with the dog puck (1879) *portrait of peter marius tutein nolthenius (1879/1880) *portrait of frederik daniÃ«l otto obreen (1883) *three inmates of the orphanage at amsterdam (1885) *portrait of dr. p.j.h. cuypers (1885) *portrait of alida elisabeth grevers (1889) *portrait of piet joubert (1890) *portrait of paul joseph constantin gabriÃ«l (1899) *portrait of amelia eliza van leeuwen (1900) *portrait of lizzie ansingh (1902) *portrait of maria catharina josephine jordan (1902) ==works of thÃ©rÃ¨se
