## Biography

Dutch glass engraver. Her father, Roemer Visscher was a famous poet. According to tradition, he gave his daughter the rather unusual name of Tesselschade \(i.e., Texel damage\), because his ships had recently foundered in a storm off the coast of Texel. Her sister, Anna Roemers Visscher was also glass engraver and a talented poet.
