It is hard to know which visual works of art were produced by women in the pre-modern era. This is because female artists often worked only in family businesses or were employed in painting workshops and did not sign their own artworks. Instead, these were sold as the work of their male employer or head of the family. We can assume that many pieces by \u201canonymous masters\u201d were produced by women.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
