Mme. Guyon is much esteemed as a teacher. She has been an instructor and adviser to the Princess Mathilde, and has had many young ladies in her classes. In her portraits she succeeds in revealing the individual characteristics of her subjects and bringing out that which is sometimes a revelation to themselves in a pronounced manner. Is not this the key to the charm of her works? <b>HAANEN, ELIZABETH ALIDA--MME. KIERS.</b> Member of the Academy of Amsterdam, 1838. Born in Utrecht. 1809-1845.
