Životopis:

Samuel Schellink (1 August 1876 – 20 December 1958) was a Dutch pottery decorator, painter, engraver, ceramist, pastelist, and author of watercolors and gouaches. He was born in Utrecht, Netherlands and began his career in Utrecht, where he worked until 1892. He then moved to The Hague and joined N.V. Haagsche Plateelbakkerij Rozenburg as a painter apprentice. He became well-known for his work as the painter of Rozenburg's eggshell porcelain. His signature topics include still life, flowers, birds, and less prominently, landscapes. He remained with Rozenburg until 1914, when they went bankrupt. He then focused on painting and entering the art trade for a brief period. In 1918, he joined Tegel en Fayencefabriek Amphora in Oegstgeest, where he worked as a pottery painter. His last employer was Plateelbakkerij Goedewaagen in Gouda, where he fulfilled the same role of pottery decorator. In 1901, he married Johanna Sophia Bruens in The Hague, with whom he had a daughter. After the death of his first wife in 1927, he married Wilhelmina Gerardina Johanna Smits, who had been his housekeeper.
