Hendrika Cornelia "Rie" de Balbian Verster-Bolderheij (born Hendrika Cornelia Bolderheij; 25 February 1890 – 12 March 1990) was a Dutch painter. She attended the Dagtekenschool voor meisjes (English:Day drawing school for girls) in Amsterdam. [1] She submitted some of her work into the "Paintings" event of the "Mixed Painting" category of the art competitions at the 1928 Summer Olympics, but did not win a medal. [2]
Born in Amsterdam in 1890, she married publicist Jan François Leopold de Balbian Verster in 1910. She was a member of Amsterdam's Arti et Amicitiae society [3] and the Vereeniging Sint Lucas (Amsterdam). [1] Balbian Verster-Bolderheij's work was included in the 1939 exhibition and sale Onze Kunst van Heden (Our Art of Today) at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. [4]
She was also a member of the Amsterdam artists' associations Arti et Amicitiae and the Guild of Saint Luke. [1] She focused on painting portraits and still lifes, including the actress Sara Heyblom . The trips that de Balbian-Verster-Bolderheij made later in her career to Japan, Hong Kong, Morocco, Russia and Jordan were an important source of inspiration. [1]
Between 1910 and 1917, she had three daughters. Through the daughters' encouragement, she became a board member around 1921 and, in 1923, chairman of the Amsterdam branch of Het Nederlandse Meisjesgilde (English: Dutch Girl Scouts' Guild). In 1933, she became a member of the main board of the national organisation. All three daughters were in Japanese-run civilian internment camps in the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) during World War II. [5] She died in Weesp on 12 March 1990 at the age of 100. [2] [1]
