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.
Thanks!
