The British Royal Academy
This is an image of the Royal Academy Of Arts in London. The Royal Academy is the "Establishment" as far as some of the art world is concerned. I was one of the lucky artist that was accepted into the Academy. This is a big deal not only to be accepted but also fact that I am a women in a man time period. This academy was a big step for women and a bigger step for me. CITATION: Kemp, Martin. "Royal Academy of Arts." http://www.infobritain.co.uk/royal_academy_of_arts.htm (accessed 3/23/2011).

David Garrick
This is one of my first works as a budding young artist. It is a portrait of David Garrick, exhibited in the year of my arrival at "Mr Moreing's great room in Maiden Lane." After I did this portrait, the rank of Lady Wentworth, opening society to myself, was given to me. From then on in I was everywhere well received, the royal family especially showing me great favor.Bruce + Bobbie.

Photo of the Angelika Kauffmann Museum
This is a photo of a museum that the people of Schwarzenberg make. The building in which the museum is located in is the old Kleberhaus, where since 1928 the local history museum of Schwarzenberg was located. It is such a honor to have a museum just for me. I am making it alittle hard for them though since they have had to add on rooms to the original building.

Self Portrait
This is a self portrait of mine. While first off it is an oil painting on canvas. The last time I checked it was located at the Hermitage Museum. This is a very good example of both what I looked like and one of my self portraits.

Telemachus and the Nymphs of Calypso

'Zeuxis Selecting Models for his Painting of Helen of Troy'
I did this image c.1778. The title explans what is going on in this image, 'Zeuxis Selecting Models for his Painting of Helen of Troy'. This is a yet another good example to show off my neoclassical art. The colors and togas are very neoclassical. CITATION: Shafe, Lawrence.

Four Children With a Basket of Fruit
This is one of my neoclassical paintings. The realism strikes me as an artist. I am not the on to brag or bost but I love the rebound of light off the objects. There is also the childhood inocence, I believe, captured in the face. I just want to reach in to of these soft lovely creatures. I might even grab a grape while I am at it.

The man in the left center, background is Miranda's father Prospero. This image depict Act. 3 Scene 1, When Ferdinand is given the task of moving logs. Miranda offers her help, but Ferdinand gallantly refuses to allow her to demean herself. Prospero watches from a distance. The painting is now located in Austrian Gallery, Vienna.
