This Round: Judith Leyster 1609 - 1660

---

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. It wasn't until the late 19th century that she was recognized for her artistic abilities. Leyster's Self-Portrait, c. 1633, marks a historical shift from the rigidity of earlier women's self-portraits in favor of a more relaxed, dynamic pose. The fact that the inventory of her estate attributed many of the paintings to "the wife of Molenaer", not to Judith Leyster, may have contributed to the misattribution of her work to her husband.
