Notes
An advocate of women's education, Anna Maria van Schurman was considered to be the greatest female intellect of the 17th century. She often engaged Europe's leading intellectuals in debate and was also known for her accomplishments in languages, philosophy, poetry and painting. Our thanks to Dr. Fred Meijer, Curator, Department of Old Netherlandish Painting, The Netherlands Institute for Art History (RKD), for his comments on a suggested attribution to Jan Jansz.
