Which article are you evaluating?
Portrait of a Lady (van der Weyden)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose the WikiProject "Women Artists." Even though this article is not about a woman painter in particular, it does highlight how women were presented in paintings during this time (the 1400s) which I think is important as to our class's topic.

Evaluate the article
The article highlights the painting "Portrait of a Lady" by artist Rogier van der Weyden. This painting shows how most women were painted at the time: fragile, idealized, and very clean and polished. This article gives a plethora of sources in its citations and bibliography, all of which look to be credible. The talk pages as well do not discuss many errors with the page at all. The only noticeable factor that was fixed was a blurry image, but no other complaints were made about the page. The links to all of the works, as well, seem to work. The author does not claim any bias towards the author or the topic at hand, and uses a neutral standpoint. The authors of the article, as well, analyze the style of painting and how the painter's style changed over time.
