Painter of flower still lifes, married to the history and portrait painter Louis Moritz. As the first female artist she received an honorary prize from the Amsterdam artists' society Felix Meritis in 1817. Anna Reijerman was a successful and appreciated painter, who regularly exhibited her work from 1813, including at the annual exhibitions of Living Masters. This is the only known oil painting of her hand. The Rijksprentenkabinet in Amsterdam has a finely detailed watercolour of this artist.
