For some 200 years, many of the works of Judith Leyster were:
A. locked away in an attic and forgotten.
B. mistakenly identified as the work of Frans Hals.
C. virtually ignored while decorating the walls of a hospital.
D. painted over because they had been sold for their canvas alone after her death.
E. buried in the Leyster family crypt.
B
Because Leyster studied with Hals, the confusion is not surprising. In 1893 a Dutch art historian discovered Leyster's monogram on one canvas attributed to Hals. Since then, other "Hals" have been reattributed to Leyster.
