Thomasin and Enzie, glad to know you share my enthusiasm. it's such a pleasure just looking through her work and deciding which ones to post!
There's an exhibit now in New York, Dutch Portraits: The Age of Rembrandt and Frans Hals. I learned about it through a portrait client who had just seen the show and was raving about it. He brought out the catalog, and I went crazy looking at all the pictures.17th Century Dutch painting is high on my list. Suddenly realized I hadn't seen any Leysters. Granted, she didn't produce much work, but then her work is ranked up there with the best. Plus, she produced several very fine portraits. I looked through the index and realized to my disappointment that she was not included in the show. Her name wasn't even mentioned in the index. It was very disappointing. I would have liked the opportunity to see some of her work in person. It also put me off from seeing the how--but I think I will have to get over it and go to NY because I just heard from another friend that it was amazing.
