Margaretha Roosenboom (1843 – 1896), was a 19th-century Dutch flower painter.
Biography
She was born in Voorburg as the daughter of Nicolaas Johannes Roosenboom and Maria Schelfhout, the daughter of Andreas Schelfhout.[1] She was a pupil of her father in Brussels where she grew up, and in 1867 she returned to The Hague to learn watercolour painting from her grandfather.[2] She was a child prodigy who showed her work at Pulchri Studio at the age of 16 though she only became a member there in 1878.[2] In 1887 she moved in with her cousin Maria Henrietta Catherina van Wielik, who was married to the painter Johannes Gijsbert Vogel.[2] After her cousin died in 1892 she married Vogel in the same year in Voorburg.[2]
She sent her work to foreign exhibitions and won prizes at the World's Fair Vienna in 1873, the Chicago World Exposition in 1893, and the World's Fair Atlanta in 1895.[2][3] She signed her works with Marguerite and is known for fruit and flower still lifes.[2] She had many female pupils, including Adrienne van Hogendorp-s' Jacob and Helene Cramer,[1] who also showed works in Chicago in 1893.[1] She died in Voorburg relatively young from injuries suffered from a fall.[2]
