Gerardina van de Sande-Bakhuyzen was an important Dutch artist from a family of painters (father Hendrik, an animal painter, and her brother Julius, a landscape painter who also exhibited at the 1893 Exposition).  Evidently she was encouraged by her father, but at some point came under the influence of the highly respected still-life artist Margaretha Roosenboom (see entry below).  She was the recipient of many medals at The Hague and at Amsterdam.

Born in Groningen, Dutch artist Sientje Mesdag-Van Houten married the well-known marinescape painter Hendrik Willem Mesdag, but she did not begin painting until about age 35 after the death of her son.  She studied with  J.C. d’Arnaud Gerkens and Henriëtte Lindo.  Sientje, her husband, and several other artists all worked on the amazing circular "panorama," a 360-degree view of the fishing port Scheveningen (northwest of The Hague). The panorama is 390 x 45 feet.  While living in Brussels, she and her husband collected the modern art for what is now known as the Mesdag Museum.
