Description
The artist depicts herself in the style of a martyr, as represented by the palm frond in her hand.[3] The awkward proportion of the hand as compared to the head suggest that it may have been added at a later stage.[3] It is unusual for the period in that it lacks the symbol of a specific saint, but does not appear to have been cut down in size.[4]
History
The painting is believed to have been painted during the artist's time in Florence, based on both the appearance as well as some supplier records discovered in archives.[3] The work is signed "Artemisia Lomi", the name she assumed while working in Florence to associate herself with her uncle Aurelio Lomi, who had already established a reputation there.[4]
Provenance
The painting was in the collection of Ignazio Hugford, who lent it to an exhibition in Florence in the 1760s.[4] It was later in the collection of Martha (Wollaston) Beavan from Leintwardine, Herefordshire, from which it was sold at Sotheby's London 9 December 1987.[4]
