#JudithLeyster died in 1660, at 50 years old. It has always been said that she was an "imitator" or a follower of Hals. I am not so sure about it.

De laatste druppel (1629)
If you like #Vermeer, you should check #JudithLeyster, a key artist of the Dutch Golden Age. Her status as a woman was a burden for her career & for centuries her extraordinary paintings were attributed to her male contemporaries, such as #FransHals, or even Leyster's husband, #JanMienseMolenaer.

The description of this painting on the website reads, “By the light of an oil lamp, a young woman is bowed over her needlework, with her feet on a foot warmer. A man is trying to attract her attention with a handful of coins – he wants to buy her love. But the woman does not respond to his offer, and works on undisturbed. She is a model of virtuousness.” The Wikipedia description of the same work reads, “It depicts a woman, sewing by candlelight, as a man leans over her, touching her right shoulder with his left hand. He is offering her coins in his right hand, but she is apparently ignoring the offer and concentrating intently upon her sewing. As we see the female protagonist (seemingly) ignore the advances of her suitor, this painting has been considered to potentially be a feminist work. The man wears dark clothing, and the dark tones as well as his shadow cast behind him and across his face from the angle of the candlelight give him a looming appearance. In contrast, the woman is lit fully in the face by the candlelight, and wears a white blouse.”

A painting of a young white man wearing a grayish garment with light blue cuffs. He also sports a black beret, worn at a very rakish angle (down the left side of his face) with a log red feather arcing over his right ear to the left edge of the painting. As his right (on the painting's left) a portion of a table is visible, containing a tinderbox, pipe, and a paper containing tobacco. His arms are uplifted before his chest, holding a blue and white jug with its metal lid hanging open, from which he might be about to drink.

A painting of two young men carousing. One of them, in blue pants and a purple or brown jacket, sits on a stool. His head is tilted back as he drinks from a bottle he tips up with his right hand. At the right, the young man in red pants, a red jacket, and a white blouse with a black vest, holds a smoking pipe in his upraised left hand, while his left holds a covered stein by its base, so that the lid dangles toward the floor. At the back of the painting, between the two human figures, stands a skelton, bending forward, cradling a human skull in its left hand, and raising an hourglass over its head with its right hand.

A painting of three figures in an interior, one of whom is playing a violin and all three of whom may be singing. His one raised foot suggests the tune is a jaunty one. The smiling figure in red in the foreground holds a glass in their left hand and a jug in their right. The third figure in the back is smiling. From the left, the heads of three more people appear, looking into the room from a window.

Dutch artist Judith Leyster’s Self-Portrait exudes self-confidence in her abilities, and it has become one of the National Gallery of Art’s most popular Dutch paintings. Leyster has depicted herself at her easel, briefly interrupting work on a painting of a violin player to interact with the viewer. The momentary quality of the portrait and the vigorous brushwork echo the work of Frans Hals, Haarlem’s most celebrated portrait painter and Leyster’s colleague. By juxtaposing her hand holding a brush with the hand and bow of the violin player, Leyster cleverly compares the art of creating ephemeral music with the art of creating timeless paintings. She holds the tools of her trade—a palette, a cloth, and no fewer than eighteen brushes. In reality she would not have worn the elegant dress and lace-trimmed collar while at work in her studio. Leyster entered into the Saint Luke’s Guild of Haarlem as an independent master in 1633. As a master in her own right, a rarity for a female artist at the time, Leyster established her own workshop and had paying students. Five years earlier, her proficiency and talent had already drawn public praise. A chronicler of Haarlem described Leyster, then only nineteen years old, as a painter of "good and keen insight." In the late 1640s, another city historian wrote that among the many women experienced in the field of painting, "one excels exceptionally, Judith Leyster, called ‘the true leading star’ in art." The compliment cleverly alludes to the artist’s family name, which means "lodestar." The artist herself incorporated a star in her professional signature, the monogram JL*. Following her marriage to fellow Haarlem artist Jan Miense Molenaer in 1636, Leyster stopped producing art in her own name but probably continued to paint in collaboration with, and in the workshop of, her husband.

Quoting description of this painting from wikipedia page: "Here a man is sitting sideways on a simple wooden chair with his legs crossed playing the lute. He turns his head to the spectator. Behind him an older woman grasps a money purse with one hand and offers the musician a ring with the other. Both are dressed in simple peasant clothing, but there is a second purse on the table, and gold coins are spread out for counting from a money box gleaming with metal decorations that seem to contradict the simple characters in the scene. On a small three-legged stool rests a candlestick, but there is no candle in it. It lines up with a pile of coins as if to imply that instead of the "fire of love" there is money to be had for the taking."

This is the closest I got to imitating Jan Davidz's flower painting style by photographing these tulips. She was a master. Still searching...
