Biography

She was born to Pieter Francis Peters, a Dutch landscape painter, and his wife, Heinrike Gertrude née Mali. Her grandfather was a glass painter in Nijmegen and her uncle, Christian Mali, was a well-known animal painter of the Munich School, who lived with her family. Her sister, Anna Peters, became a still-life painter, specializing in flowers. She received her first lessons from her father and uncles, Christian and Johannes Cornelis  [ de ].

In addition to her portraits of children, she painted numerous portraits of her extended family members. Peters contributed illustrations to Isabella Braun's Der Mädchen liebstes Buch (1880) [1] as well as publishing a series of portraits: Girls Album. [2] From 1894 to 1904, and then again from 1907 until her death, she spent summers at Schloss Köngen  [ de ], a 13th-century castle in Esslingen, where she created scenes featuring the children of the castle's inhabitants.

From 1912 until 1924, she lived with her sisters Anna and Ida. A large collection of her works may be found at the Braith-Mali-Museum in Biberach an der Riß and at Schloss Köngen.
