Rosalie Favell “re-painted” an 1822 self-portrait by U.S. painter Charles Wilson Peale titled “The Artist in His Museum.” http://www.pafa.org/museum/collection/item/artist-his-museum

Favell inserts herself into the rendering, a Métis woman pulling back a curtain to display her collection, as did Peale. While Peale displays his collection of “exotic” discoveries he gathered through travel, Favell presents her collection of intimate family portraits, revealing the contrast between the two in terms of what they treasure. She also places herself in the powerful position of subject of the artwork and proud collector, roles once reserved for white men.

From the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery website:

“Women have long been the creative force behind Native American art, yet their individual contributions have been largely unrecognized, instead treated as anonymous representations of entire cultures. ‘Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists’ explores the artistic achievements of Native women and establishes their rightful place in the art world.”

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
