Found in	The last painting of Sara De Vos, 2016: ECIP introd. (during the 17th century, the Guild of St. Luke in Holland controlled all aspects of professional artistic life, including who could sign and date paintings. Its members included the likes of Rembrandt, Vermeer, Frans Hals, and Jan van Goyen. The historical record suggests that as many as twenty-five women were members of the Guild during the 17th century. But only a small handful of those artists produced work that has survived or been correctly attributed. For more than a century, the paintings of Judith Leyster were attributed to Frans Hals. One gap in the historical record concerns Sarah van Baalbergen, the first woman to be admitted to the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke. She gained entry in 1631, two years before Judith Leyster. None of van Baalbergen's work has survived) Wikipedia, 09-21-2015: (Sarah van Baalbergen; b. 1607 in Haarlem, Netherlands; d. after 1638), was a Dutch Golden Age painter; according to the RKD she was the first female member of the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke and was mentioned as member in the years 1631 and 1634-1638; she married the painter Barent van Eysen, who was a follower of Vincent van der Vinne, in 1634; no known works survive)
