As the daughter of Theo Majofski, Koosje Majofski was known on the Dutch stage from an early age. In her short life she gave many performances at the Leidseplein, still in the classical tradition of Johanna Ziesenis-Wattier and Andries Snoek. She sang in operas as well. Her two portraits hang facing one another near the Koninklijke Foyer.
