Thérèse Schwartze was an artist active across the final three decades of the nineteenth century and the very beginning of the twentieth, with her documented professional activity spanning the years 1870 to 1902. Her contributions to the visual arts are preserved in major international institutions, affirming her historical significance.

Five Thérèse Schwartze paintings are currently represented in the institutional record for this catalog. These documented holdings indicate a strong focus on portraiture, capturing both institutional figures and private individuals. Notable cataloged works include the commanding portrait of Piet J. Joubert (1831-1900). Commandant-generaal van de Zuid-Afrikaanse Republiek, the institutional documentation piece Drie meisjes uit het Amsterdamse Burgerweeshuis, and the individual study Portrait of Lizzy Ansingh. Additional works preserved in museum collections include Dr J L Dusseau and Jonge Italiaanse vrouw met hond Puck.

Due to the historical nature and preservation of these Thérèse Schwartze paintings in national collections, many of the images, when digitized, are frequently available as high-quality prints for researchers and enthusiasts, particularly when the artwork enters the public domain.
