Work

Anna de Frey was a specialist as copyist from Jan Steen, Gabriel Metsu and Emanuel de Witt. She preferred interiors and genre scenes and worked mostly in watercolours. Paintings in oil are rare. But in 1790 and 1810 there have been paintings from her hand for sale on auctions. Her copies were found in recommended art collections at her time, according to contemporaries Van Eijsden and Van der Willegen. They also stated that she was a teacher herself as well.
