Leyster -Self-Portrait

  


You don't often find paintings that are acknowledged to have been done by women which date back hundreds of years.  This one was originally attributed to Frans Hals and was only correctly attributed in 1949.

 

This painting was said to date back to 1630.  It isn't exactly naturalistic – she is dressed in her finery – which I don't imagine she wore when painting.

 

I liked this one.

  1. I like it, too!!! I need to go to an art museum soon. It's been WAY too long since I have seen paintings from so long ago!
