Biography
Louise Holland was a talented portrait painter and graphic artist. She was a student of Gerrit van Honthorst and so successfully imitated his style that some of her works were attributed to him. For unknown reasons, in December 1657 she fled to France and converted to the Roman Catholic faith. On March 25, 1659, she became a nun, and on September 19, 1660 , she became a nun in the Cistercian Abbey of Mobyuisson. With the support of King Louis XIV, she became Abbess of Mobyuisson in August 1664 .
As an artist, the princess is considered an “amateur”. The portraits she painted were often painted in the Honorst style. Her work, as a rule, was kept in her family, and some can now be found in German museums.
