My friend Mary Grace has sent me a link to
Women in Art (2007) by Philip Scott Johnson. Since I visited the Vermeer exhibit with her, I was looking especially for any women by Vermeer. Here are some of the women I recognized immediately:

Everyone will recognize the Mona Lisa, but did you notice
Lady with an Ermine by Leonardo da Vinci?

This
portrait of Venus is part of a larger painting:
The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli.
Okay, your turn. Who are these women? Give the artist's name and/or a URL, if possible ... and I'll add the portrait to this post.
Philip Scott Johnson's great video is showing now,
here.

Hmmm, I must not have watched the video in THIS post when I read it last June:

Yep, it's the same video, but embedded in Shelley's post. I must have been in a hurry that day ... or something.
