Self-portrait as the Allegory of Painting

"Self-portrait as the Allegory of Painting," also called Self-portrait in veste di Pittura, is an Baroque oil-on-canvas painting by Artemisia Gentileschi, likely created during her stay in England between 1638 and 1639. The artwork depicts Gentileschi herself as the personification of Painting, showcasing her skill and confidence as a female artist in a male-dominated era. The painting measures approximately 98.6 by 75.2 centimeters and was once part of Charles I's collection, later returning to the Royal Collection. It was displayed in Hampton Court Palace's Cumberland Gallery in 2015.
