Painting

By 1706, Weenix's paintings were being sold in Amsterdam. Her style was sufficiently similar to her father that some paintings were subsequently misattributed to the older painter or to his daughter Maria. [1] [2]

Her work is held in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge [1] , and the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter. [3]

Personal life

In November 1716, Josina married Pieter van der Sloot in Amsterdam. [4] In 1723, the couple had a son. [1] Weenix died in 1724, and was buried in Amsterdam. [2]
