Because of the lack of documentation, there are some roaring battles out there over attibutions on some pieces. El Greco and Sofonisba are both claimed for Woman in a fur, though a rather convincing book makes the argument for Sofonisba.

Her work DID inspire following artists to mimic some of her pieces.

whic h one was the woman in fur?

I dunno- as i scrolled through the paintings, i just had a distinct feeling I’d seen the style before- only more exaggerated - El Greco immediately came to mind- it’s funny that you mentioned that there was controversy about it- but i can certainly see why in some of the paintings-
