Unlike many women painters at his time, Wautier had received recognition while alive. She had made and sold four paintings to Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria. Although, after her passing her work had fallen into a blackout. She had a steady build up of her recognition in the 1640s and 1650s.
Wautier has been noted for the variety of subjects she has used in her paintings as opposed to other female artists who had been restricted to smaller paintings and generally portraits or still-lifes. She had the skill to portray young boys in her paintings and had access to such subjects as a female painter.
It appears that there had been a long period of time between Wautier's last painting The Annunciation (1659) to her death (1689).
