Biography Anna Brueghel was born on 4 October 1620 in Antwerp (now Belgium). She was the daughter of Jan Breughel the Elder and his second wife, Catharina van Mariënborch.

In 1637, she married David Teniers II (also known as David Teniers the Younger). Together they had eight children. She would act as the artists model for many of Teniers' portraits of witches. Around 1650, the family moved to Brussels because Teniers became a court painter.
