Anne Alida de Frey or Freij (September 24, 1768 – 1808) was a Dutch copyist, drawer and painter.

De Frey[1] was born in Amsterdam as the second child of a family of 3 daughters and two sons. The family was Roman Catholic. Jacobus Johannes Lauwers from Bruges became the teacher of Anna and her younger brother Johannes Pieter de Frey, who became a printmaker, painter and publisher.[2] Lauwers lived in their house for a short while and later married the eldest sister Maria Christina. On March 22, 1804, Anna Alida and Gerhard Pootmann had the banns published. She used herself on this occasion the names Anna Aletta. After their marriage (April 4, 1804) they appear to have moved to Mannheim. She can also be referred to as: Anna de Freij, Aletta de Frey, Anna de Frey, Aletta Pootmann-de Fre.
