Mathilde Willink

Mathilde Willink née Maria Theodora Mathilde de Doelder (7 July 1938, Terneuzen – 25 October 1977, Amsterdam) was the wife of the Dutch painter Carel Willink (1900–1983) from 1969 to 1977 and became a well-known figure in the Amsterdam society, wearing the extravagant clothes of designer Fong Leng. Their eccentric relationship made them a staple in the Dutch gossip columns of the time. Four months after the divorce with Willink, Mathilde was found dead in her bed. The details of her death remain unclear.[1]
