Biography

Anna Maria de Koker was born in Monnickendam, Dutch Republic, date unknown.[1] She was the daughter of merchant Jan Agges de Kooker and Anna Francken. Her family was wealthy and had a coat of arms.[1][2]

In 1684, de Koker married wine merchant Jan Camersfelt in Leiden. According to their son's baptismal certificate from 1685, she was Roman Catholic.[1] She died in 1698 in Amsterdam[3] and was buried on 17 May 1698.[4]

About twenty five of de Koker's etchings are known, mainly landscapes.[1] She etched twelve landscapes in the style of Dutch painter Jan von Goyen.[6] She also wrote poems.[7]
