One of the best portrait Iβve seen. Itβs by a painter youβve likely never heard of - Mary Black
While her work is stunning, rivaling and even better than most of her male contemporaries, on one of the first (and only) portraits sheβve done, she was forced to charge 1/100th of her asking price, and was told she would be slandered as βa slutβ if she refused.
The work of women being criminally undervalued while being slandered since the beginning of time.
