***ANSWERS:
"The Horse Fair" was painted by Rosa Bonheur, quite rightly famous in her day for her renditions of animals.
Judith Leyster painted many scenes of the 15th century Dutch high life. One of her paintings, "The Jolly Topper", had been attributed to Frans Hals until, upon receiving a good cleaning, her very distinctive signature was found!
Surprise! No, it wasn't Mary Cassatt; Berthe Morisot was the woman who had work in the Impressionists second exhibition.
I hope you enjoyed the quiz!
