Truus Claes was a painter in a time when women could not easily practice the profession. The fact that she was allowed to capture Wilhelmina Drucker in a portrait in 1917 was a nice incentive (see photo). Wilhelmina Drucker had become known as a champion of feminism.
Claes received her academic education in Amsterdam. And painted mainly portraits and figure representations. She worked in Amersfoort, Laren, Amsterdam and later in Schaarbeek and Linkebeek (Belgium). In the latter place she probably painted this portrait, see back of stretcher.
