Suzanna Sablairolles began her stage career alongside her sisters at the theatre in The Hague, but also sang opera under Nathan Judels, who himself appears in the portrait gallery. She managed to win larger roles at the Stadsschouwburg, even though the grande dame Mimi Bia was not inclined to allow it. She had several children with her fellow actor P.A. Morin and died young, at the age of thirty-eight.
