Betsy Westendorp-Osieck was born Johanna Elisabeth Osieck in Amsterdam in 1880, the daughter of merchant Philip Willem Osieck and Catharina Agnes Briel. She was educated at the Drawing School for the Working Class in Amsterdam and at the Royal Academy of Visual Arts, also in Amsterdam. Prior to her formal training, she had already received lessons from another Amsterdam Joffer, Lizzy Ansingh. Her first commission was drawing a certificate for a cradle made by Karel de Bazel for Princess Juliana in 1909. Westendorp-Osieck was a member of several art societies, such as Arti et Amicitiae and the Vereeniging Sint Lucas in Amsterdam, Pulchri Studio in The Hague, and the Hollandse Aquarellisten Kring. She worked as a visual artist in Amsterdam. Westendorp painted many portraits. As an etcher, she created about ten illustrations for "Oude Amsterdamsche tuinhuizen," published by Bernard Houthakker in 1923. She made various trips to, among others, America, Belgium, Cambodia, Ceylon, Egypt, France (Paris), and Japan. Her travel sketches from her 1931 trip through Asia were exhibited in both Amsterdam and The Hague. In 1932, her collection of etchings of old Dutch gable stones was published. In 1933, her husband published *Japan*, which included six of her etchings. According to the Netherlands Institute for Art History (RKD), her naturalistic-coloristic painting style was influenced by Impressionism. Westendorp-Osieck's work was awarded several times. During the exhibition "De Vrouw 1813-1913", her entry was awarded a silver medal. In 1915, she won the Willink van Collen Prize; in 1930, she won the Saint Luke Prize; in 1936, the Queen's Gold Medal; and the gold medal at the 1937 World Exhibition in Paris. She married stockbroker Herman Karel Westendorp on June 21, 1917. Westendorp-Osieck died in March 1968 at the age of 87 in her hometown of Amsterdam.
