Wilhelmine Carbin-Gips (1897-1975) came from an artistic family. Her grandfather, Cornelis Gips, was a painter and art photographer and her aunt Wilhelmina Gips a much sought-after soloist and singing teacher. But even more famous was her father Abraham Gips, who was a professor at the 'Technische Hogeschool' in Delft and, as a performing artist, was also an important representative of the so-called Delft Art Nouveau. After her education at the 'Haagsche Teekenacademie', his youngest daughter Wilhelmine became a member of the artists' associations Pulchri Studio in The Hague and De Brug in Amsterdam. She was active as a painter, draftsman and graphic artist. The years 1920-1934 were her most fertile period. At that time she was clearly influenced by the art of the 'Nieuwe Zakelijkheid'.
