Maria Antonia (Mies) Merkelbach (1904–1985) was a professional photographer, designer, and painter. In photography she followed her father, Jacob Merkelbach, a famous fashion photographer in Amsterdam, by working in his well-known studio called "Atelier J. Merkelbach" that he established in April 1913. She also worked for the studio as a high-fashion clothing model. She directed the studio after her father's death in 1942 until 1969. She and her husband took many portrait pictures of Queen Wilhelmina out of which one portrait was chosen as a state photograph.[1][2][3][4]
