Round 10: Tossup 20

In a painting by this artist, two wings sprout out of a woman’s hair as she sits resting her arm on a blue orb. This artist painted a woman with a drawing-compass by a chess set and another woman sketching the Belvedere Torso in two of four oval ceiling paintings created for the Somerset House allegorizing different “Elements (15[1])of Art.” This artist, (15[1])who exchanged portraits with (*) Joshua Reynolds, is depicted as a portrait hanging next to Mary Moser’s in a group portrait by Johann Zoffany. In a moralizing painting by this artist, a woman in red flaunting jewelry is contrasted (10[1])with the title modestly-dressed mother, who gestures to her sons, Tiberius and Gaius. For 10 points, Cornelia Presenting (10[1])Her Children as Her Treasures is by what co-founder of the Royal Academy, a Swiss-born woman artist? ■END■
