EDITORS COMMENTS
In this self-portrait by Judith Leyster, we are transported back to the 17th century and given a glimpse into the world of a talented female artist. Leyster's skillful use of oil on canvas brings her image to life, capturing her essence with every brushstroke. Dressed in an elegant costume adorned with lace collar and cap, Leyster exudes confidence and grace. Her piercing gaze meets ours as she holds a palette and brushes in one hand, showcasing her mastery over the art of painting. The other hand delicately rests on an easel, suggesting that she is mid-creation or perhaps contemplating her next stroke. Behind her stands a violin player, adding an element of intrigue to the composition. Is it symbolic? Does it represent harmony between different forms of art? Or is it simply a reflection of Leyster's love for music? Regardless, this self-portrait speaks volumes about Leyster's talent and determination as a woman in the male-dominated field of art during that era. It serves as both a celebration of her own achievements and an inspiration for future generations. Now housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, this print allows us to appreciate not only Leyster's artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder that women have always played significant roles in shaping our cultural heritage.
