GODEWYCK, MARGARETTA,
Was born at Dort, in 1627, and was instructed in design and drawing by Nicholas Maas, by whose instructions she acquired a fine taste in painting landscapes, which she ingeniously diversified with views of rivers, cascades, villages, groves, and distant hills, that rendered her compositions very pleasing. This lady was not more admired for her paintings in oil, than for her needle-work, executing the same kind of subjects which she expressed with her pencil, and with an equal appearance of nature and truth, in embroidery. She died in 1677.
