Cornelia de Rijck (11 October 1653 – 4 October 1726) was a Dutch painter specialized in painting birds and insects.[2] She was born in Amsterdam as the daughter of Dirck Jansz. de Rijck and Ariaantje Wessels.[3] She married Gerrit van Goor in 1688, followed by a second marriage to Simon Schijnvoet in 1697. Her first husband was a portrait painter who painted her portrait, and together they taught the artist Gerrit Rademaker who continued to follow lessons from her as a widow.[3] She is known for her meticulous studies of insects, 116 of which are in a portfolio in the Stockholm archives.[4] Her paintings have been compared to that of Melchior d'Hondecoeter.[5] She died in Amsterdam.[3]
