This picture is actually a reporoduction of Artemesia by Van. I love the fact that she is older. It show realistically how she may have progressed in age. She is not as youthful as her other portraits are painted. I like it for the realism. She still is dressed royally showing that she still has prestige. Again this portrait shows her having a maidservant, whats interesting is that in this painting the maidservant's back is tune and she seems to be much youger than her other servans have been. She seems comfortable in this picture even with the age progression

Do you know the date of this painting? Also, who is "Van"? It's very unclear. Your comments are fine, but without knowing about the painting it's somewhat irrelevant.
