Summary

Description
English: Explanatory text for Rachel Ruysch painting in the Rijksmuseum with 18th-century paintings. Instead of discussing the painting, the explanatory text tells who Rachel Ruysch was. This type of treatment of female artists is typical in leading museums, although it is especially egregious in the "hometown" of this specific artist. The text is as follows: "Rachel Ruysch was the daughter of Frederik Ruysch, a professor of botany. Her artistic talent was recognized early on and she became a renowned painter of floral still lifes. Even though she bore ten children she nonetheless managed to pursue a professional career in The Hague and Germany, and she was appointed court painter to the Elector Palatine."
