life and work

Magdalena Roghman was born in 1637 as one of six children into an artistic family. Her mother was Maria Savery (* 1598), daughter of the painter Jacob Savery (1566-1603) (other sources incorrectly: Roelant Savery ), her father was the engraver Henrick Lambertsz Roghman. She was baptized on January 13, 1637.

Her brother Roelant (* 1627) became a landscape painter, her older sister Geertruydt (* 1625) a draftsman, etcher and engraver. In April 1669 she married Jan Roelof Heister; Otherwise nothing is known about her life.

Only two engravings of her work have survived, which are contained in a publication by the playwright Jan Bara from 1650 (Herstelde vorst, orte Geluckigh ongeluck) . One of them is the frontispiece with a tragic stage scene, the second the mirror-image copy of an engraving by Claes Janszoon Visscher , which shows a stack of books on a shelf (Boeken ob een plank).

Individual copies of these prints are in the Kupferstichkabinett of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam .
