Judith Jans Leyster was a Dutch Golden Age painter. She painted genre works, portraits and still lifes. Although her work was highly regarded by her contemporaries, Leyster and her work became almost forgotten after her death. Her entire oeuvre was attributed to Frans Hals or to her husband, Jan Miense Molenaer, until 1893. It wasn't until the late 19th century that she was recognized for her artistic abilities.

Totally reminds me of Kate from Upstart Crow.

She has a scene or two in the show where she is a bit of a self-portrait painter, as well.

Wearing a cylinder around your neck seems like it would get annoying. Maybe it would come in handy if I needed to catch bread crumbs but that’s about it.

Heh … It says it went out of popularity by 1630 except for the Dutch.

Why does she remind me of Maeby from Arrested Development?

Do you know where she can get one of those T necklaces?

A missed opportunity to paint herself painting herself while she painted herself. I love a bit of recursion :3
