Question

When selling portraits at the first art auction room with overhead lighting, this artist received only a twentieth of a percent of the proceeds. This artist had a heated rivalry with the painter of Self-Portrait with Two Pupils. It’s not George Romney, but this artist painted a Cumean Sybil, Ariadne, and a tambourine-shaking Bacchante all using the model Emma Hamilton. This artist’s (15[1])controversial works included a scandalously informal portrait of one patron in a white muslin dress, and a self-portrait with their (*) daughter Julie in which they show their teeth.
