Louise Jopling (British/English,1843–1933) • Self-Portrait • 1877

Louise Jopling was a leading female portrait painter of Victorian England. She was excellent at networking and hosted salons that promoted women artists. She also started an art school for women, who were excluded from major art schools and academies.

She was part of a social circle that included James McNeill Whistler, Oscar Wilde, and Kate Perugini (née Dickens).

Like several other women painters, Jopling also served as a model and subject for other artists. Both Millais and James Abbott McNeill Whistler painted portraits of her. Whistler offered praise of Millais' portrait of Jopling as "a great work" and "a superb portrait."

Princess Louise Hollandine of the Palatinate (Dutch, 1622–1709) • Self-Portrait • 1650

As a painter, the princess is considered an "amateur". The portraits she painted are often in the Baroque style of Honthorst, but there are exceptions, which were likely not commissioned. Her works were generally kept within her family, and some can now be found in German museums. – Wikipedia

Lucien Freud (British/ English, 1922 - 2011) • Reflection with Two Children (Self-Portrait) • 1965 • Museum of Fine Arts of Bilbao, Bilboa, Spain

In fact, Freud painted Reflection with two children (Self-portrait) in 1965 by looking down at his own reflection in a mirror at his feet. This accounts for the extreme fore-shortening of his figure and the semi-abstract ceiling light hanging just above his left shoulder.
