Her self-portrait was included in the 1905 book Women Painters of the World.[2] It was misattributed however and was included as "Portrait: (executed by herself) of Artemisia Gentileschi, who lived for a time in England and worked for Charles the First. From a photograph by Hanfstaengl after the original painting in Earl Spencer's collection".
