"Self-Portrait with a Harp," (Autoportrait à la harpe) Painted around 1791 by Rose-Adélaïde Ducreux.

Small synopsis behind the painting ????

Rose-Adélaïde Ducreux was a gifted painter and musician who defied 18th-century expectations by mastering both arts in a time when women were rarely allowed into the professional art world. Despite her talent, she faced barriers simply because she was a woman—men dominated the academies, exhibitions, and recognition. Most women were completely barred from the high class educational institutions where most artistic talent could be nurtured. Ducreux herself did not attend these institutions, however, with lessons from her father she was able to train and become mostly self-taught. In 1791, she painted this portrait to present not just her image, but her intellect, grace, and skill. The painting was her quiet rebellion—a statement of presence in a world that tried to keep women artists invisible.
