Pieter Groenendijk was an official in the Leiden city government. When he married Petronella Dunois of Amsterdam, she moved into his home and brought her dolls’ house with her. After the couple’s death, the dolls’ house went to their heirs and subsequently passed down the female line until it was acquired by the Rijksmuseum.
