Alone in the Studio: Women Artists’ Self Portraits

Confronted with a mirror and a blank canvas, women painters faced difficult decisions about how to present themselves to the world. Should they make themselves conventionally pretty? Show themselves in action, with brushes in hand? Join Erica E. Hirshler, Croll Senior Curator of American Paintings, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and explore self-portraits by sisters of the brush and palette.
