Question

Name the first established female artist and tell at what point she became recognized.

I'm confused on this question. I don't know whether it would be Judith Leyster or Sofonisba Anguissola. My textbook doesn't say exactly and I can't find it when I google it.

Answer 1

When you read biographies of these artists, do they tell you WHEN they first drew attention from the public, the critics, and began to sell their work? That would be how you find the answer.

Answer 2

Ohhhhh so Sofonisba Anguissola was alive from 1532-1625 and Judith Leyster was alive from 1609-1660. So it would be Sofonisba, correct?

Answer 3

If she was recognized during her lifetime, yes.
