Continuing with photos from the recent Baltimore Museum of Art exhibition “Making Her Mark: A History of Women Artists in Europe, 1400-1800”: today I’m sharing artwork of plants and animals from the exhibition. As usual, I’ll link to online references for each painting so you can read more about them (and see professionally shot images).

[And here’s another reminder that the show will be traveling to the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto.]
