The fact that the canvas within the painting was originally a self-portrait is very interesting. I assume she was looking into the mirror and this is the reflection, this on a real-life level. But on the fictional level, she was studying her features to paint them on the internal self-portrait. Also, her smile (mirroring the one of the violonist) seems very ironic or whimsical in nature. This keeps some of the essence of the original idea (the self-portrait's one) but makes it more alluring.

¿Por qué no los dos? A silver lining to the cloud of oppression is that we can celebrate those who have overcome it and achieved in spite of it. I celebrate Judith for being a young, talented, *and* female artist. I'll never love Northern Baroque like Italian, but there's something sweet about the merry company paintings. 🥰

Great as always.One question:since painters had to belong to the Guild of Saint Luke , was there a separate guild for sculptors?

Great question. We didn't mention it but the guilds of Saint Luke in the north usually included sculptors and other artisans.

Awkward sitting position?. It's not an awkward sitting position she's showing her swag. She was a hipster.
