Original – Self-portrait of Dutch Golden Age painter Judith Leyster (1609–1660), painted circa 1630, from the National Gallery of Art.
Reason
Self-portrait of Judith Leyster, a notable woman artist of the Dutch Golden Age, used as the lead image for her article. Typical of her work in composition and execution, showing also one of her unfinished paintings as a scene-within-a-scene. In the National Gallery of Art, with a high-quality scan donated by the National Gallery of Art. (Note that there's also a Google Art Project scan of the same painting, linked from The Proposition (painting); I like the slightly rosier shade of the nominated version from the National Gallery a little better than the slightly greener shade of the Google one, but they're very close and I could go with either. We should certainly avoid the vertically-compressed book scan and the color-corrected version).
