Original – Self-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting. Artemisia Gentileschi, 1638-39. 96.5 by 73.7 centimetres (38.0 in × 29.0 in)

Reason: We don't have nearly enough works by women artists. Here's a particularly interesting one, in which Artemisia Gentileschi depicted herself as the “Allegory of Painting” illustrated by Cesare Ripa.
