Henriette Wolters
Henriette Wolters (* 1682 or 1692 in Amsterdam ; † 1741 ) was a Dutch miniature painter.
She was tutored by her father, the painter Theodor van Pee (1668–1746), although he did not want to train her to be an artist.
A copy after Adriaen van de Velde met with admiration. Under the guidance of the painter Jakob Christoph Le Blon, she copied several portraits by A. van Dyck and other great masters. Very small portraits painted by her were placed in bracelets and paid for with 60 to 400 florins .
Peter the Great and Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia wanted her to be court painters. However, she also turned down the payment of 6,000 fl.
In 1719 she married the painter Hermann Wolters (* 1682 in Zwolle ; † around 1750–56), who had been apprenticed to Roelof Koets and her father. As Jan van Gool (1685–1763) reported, he painted portraits and various representations gray on gray.
