This self portrait was done by Judith Leyster by oil on canvas, She is also an artiste of the baroque in northern Europe era. I like the way the artist shows her self doing what she does best, perhaps to give her audience a better idea of who she really is. I also find it interesting that she is dressed rather elaborately just to work on an art work where her clothes would be bound to get smeared or destroyed. However, her clothes depicts that she might belong to a well to do or wealthy family.
