In 1928, the Algemeen Handelsblad called her work "perceived and always interesting, even when it appears to be somewhat weak in form."[2] Cornelis Veth described her two years later as "a fine, but not strong talent, in which all strength comes from the depth of feeling. ".[3] Boevé regularly exhibited, including as a member of Teekengenootschap Pictura, Arti et Amicitiae and R 33.[1] Her work is included in the collections of the Museum Catharijneconvent, Centraal Museum and Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. The artist died in 1958, at the age of 76. A year later, a commemorative exhibition was held at the Rotterdam Art Foundation.
