Petronella Oortman (Dutch pronunciation: [peːtroːˈnɛlaː ˈʔoːrtmɑn]; 1656 – November 27, 1716) was a Dutch woman whose elaborate dollhouse is part of the permanent collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Petronella Oortman should not be confused with her close namesake Petronella Oortmans-de la Court (1624–1707), who as it happens was also the owner of a noted dollhouse now in the collection of the Centraal Museum, Utrecht.[1][2]
