Judith Leyster's innovative application of expression in her Self Portrait serves as the focus of this study, whereby she is shown to blend conventional painting categories, preserve a sense of innocence, and confidently flaunt her skills. In turn, Leyster challenged the male-dominated seventeenth-century art market and stood out among her artistic predecessors and contemporaries.
