  Deppie, Greece                            I should think that Judith Leyster is a very motivated woman, who enjoys painting and the fact that she is smiling proves that she is very pleased with her work.First of all, we should underline the fact that in 17th century women didn’t use to paint and this led us to a conclusion about her character. She seems to be a happy, satisfied, self-confident and dynamic person, which is highlighted by the fact that in her self-portrait she is dressed up, showing us her high position among other professional artists.It’s my belief that she might have drawn this painting because she wants to highlight her skills and intrigue people to see what she is capable of.Last but not least the dominant part of her painting is how confident and proud of herself she is, that she actually follows her dream no matter how difficult it was in those times.

The painter smiles. I think that she is proud of herself as she’s one of the first women who painted and published her paintings.        She is a cheerful a young girl. She has black hair and her hair is               collected. She is thin, has a thin skin and is wearing clothes typical of the     seventeenth century.

She might want to advertise her skills and attract potential coustomomers who would like to order painting, being so sure about herself. Because she wants to reflect that what she painted was people, not objects or abstract paintings.
The most important part of the picture is itself, as it was not very common to seewomen painting at that time.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the woman is smiling because she enjoys her work. She sees to be self-confident and sure of herself

# data[].attributes.body
The paintings represent children and young people to enjoy life, often moralizing messages on the brevity of time or crazy behavior of adults.

I think she is an ambitious woman and a very good painter, in her portraits reflects that she is a smiling, hedonistic woman who loves to smile at life.

I think she was painting that painting to express her feelings, to extract them from the inside and to translate them into a self-portrait like this.   I also believe that it represents the happiness of the innocence of children and young people, the desire to live from these who come to pass this happiness to the painter herself.

The dominant part of the picture is the one that occupies the painter herself, in the background appears the child to whom she is portraying. So dominate the part in which she leaves smiling wanting to convey that adults can have the same desire to live and the same happiness as children.

She is smiling because she demonstrated to the people that she was able to paint herself.

At that time the woman was treated as the caretaker of the house and the children and doing something different makes her happy.

She used to painting quotidian situations in a house, as a family, parties, streets, etc. so in this picture wanted transmit a girl painting. In that time, the woman was not engaged in painting and she wants retransmit that people see this.

This picture transmits freedom too.

She paint this picture because she want to be a liberal woman as seems.

The most important part of this painting is that they are both smiling. I think she has wanted to focus more on her and is the one that stands out.

Judith Leyster - A Boy and a Girl with a Cat and an Eel

I think that this artist is smiling because she was one of the first women to be painter (1609-1660) and she is happy.

In a few years where the women situation was to be home and take care of children, she managed to paint a self-portrait

She portray her with clear and cheerful clothing and and not with clothes dark as the painter wears

It was a few years where the people dressed with clothes dark as sign of elegance.

I think that this woman tries to portray her as a woman freer and she portray her with clear and cheerful clothing and not with black clothing.

For my she is the dominant part of this painting because she appears in the first level, with more light and bigger.

The artist is smiling and this makes me think that because you are proud of his work and one of the first women to develop their hobby and turn it into your life.
I get the feeling that smiling feels protagonist of the work. A work that expresses a sense of comfort and joy.
Painting is his passion and breaks with the idea that in that century only men were able to create art.
She looks like a happy and selfless woman. Young woman with a healthy appearance, she is wearing a classic dress of those times long black skirt suit.
The woman looks happy, secure their work and their convictions, she expresses a feeling of happiness.
She’s a young woman who wants to express his feelings through works.
I think that might be painting the picture because he wants to immortalize his work, wants to claim that women can also paint good works and for this reason she wants to appear in the picture because people see that she is the author.

Judith Leyster - Boy playing the Flute (c.1630)

I think he smiled because that was her personality and she always wanted to show her tenacity and the reason for his success. It is also important to know that she loved painting.

The clothing were wearing was appropriate to the golden age of Holland, she was a woman who was successful and who had always been able to construct dreams.

She Had a pale skin, her hair color was brown.

Because she wanted to prove she was capable of doing many things.

the most important is her smile and ‘cause is a self-portrait, which she’s  not used to do it and that was an impact

This self-portrait was probably made before her admission to the guild in 1633. She turns toward the viewer, smiling with full confidence as she paints. With lips parted as if to speak, she is casually posed with one arm propped on the back of her chair. Even the brushwork is free and lively. She appears to have paused briefly, looking from her easel to engage a visitor to the studio—a patron, perhaps, whose attention she invites to a work in progress.

(http://www.nga.gov/content/ngaweb/Collection/highlights/highlight37003.html)

She’s dressed in clothes from her century.  She’s dressed like rich people. She wears something that seems a hat, and in her neck she has a garment. Leyter also wears a black and red long dress.

She seems happy, maybe it’s because she’s doing something that she loves.

I think that she might be painting the picture because the violinist of the picture must be hired Leyster to draw him.

The most important part of the painting is the woman. It’s because she used to paint in a world dominated by men.

# data[].attributes.body
Because she is doing what she likes, that is painting.

Is a pale, brunette woman dressed in old clothes, it seems that she is happy   painting.

She usually painted children, and I suppose she draw this picture to change a little record and leave a portrait of her in the future.

The dominant part is where the painter comes out posing, the painting she is drawing passes is in the background.

Judith Leyster: De Naar (the Jester). Now rescued from storage!

Because she was the first woman painter in those time and she has a lot of talent.

She looks very elegant and young, it seems to have money.  She has pale skin, brown hair and a big mouth.
I think that she is painting a famous musician and another person is taking a photo. After she painted this picture
I think that she is the most important part of the painting because she looks bigger and there are more bright colours than other colours in her body and face

# data[].attributes.body
Because She likes to reflect the positive way of live.

Judith Leyster was born in a family that had no relation to art. His career ended when She got married. That young artist was influenced by great painters. Her reputation was exceptional and had his own workshop. She taught to children at a private school about arts.

It is a portrait made by the author to make clear her specialty.

It is clear that Judith Leyster has a proposal behind her portrait. She draw a man who is playing the violin, smiling at the same time.

I think she is imitating the violinist picture of her portrait

In this picture we can see that Judith was  a liberal woman, because at that time women stayed at home. She ended her  career  when she got  married,
The picture shows a smiling gesture of the artist and a relaxed posture, with his elbow on the back of the chair. She looks like a confidence and self-confidence person.

Judith Leyster is telling us that their real specialty is painting genere. It shows what is important about her. She presents her job, status and position in the world. he author seems to be looking straight at the viewer

She smiles because she is enjoying while she is painting. It seems that she really likes what she does.

She is a young girl, wearing a headscarf. It separates the hair of the face. The girl is thin, the colour of his skin is white. It appears to have some freckles on his face and his eyes are small.

Because she is specialized in portraits and scenes of everyday life. Also she tries to show people that everybody should have the same rights.

I think the most important part of this painting is that it appears a portrait of herself. It is very unusual to see portrait paintings. I think is the most important thing in this painting is that she painted a good picture from herself.

(About the self portrait by Judith Leyster)             When I fist looked at it I thought it might be funny but when we talked about it in class I appreciated more. I read that her work was attributed to a man to Frans Hals, a famous painter and many years passed before Mis Leyster was appreciated.

In the 17th century women did not have any opportunities so it was very difficult for them to become famous. So it was an achievement that she managed to become a very famous painter. She was a pioneer. She was only 21 years old when she created this painting. Unbelievable, isn't it

It seems she wanted to show the world her skills.
